1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

backgroundTo evaluate the biomechanical properties of short-segment Schanz screw implanted in an oblique downward direction for the treatment of lumbar 1 burst fracture using a finite element analysis.

methodsThe Universal Spine System (USS) fixation model for adjacent upper and lower vertebrae (T12 and L2) of lumbar 1 vertebra burst fracture was established. During flexion/extension, lateral bending, and rotation, the screw stress and the displacement of bone defect area of the injured vertebrae were evaluated when the downward inserted angle between the long axis of the screws and superior endplate of the adjacent vertebrae was set to 0° (group A), 5° (group B), 10° (group C), and 15°(group D). There were 6 models in each group.

resultsThere were no significant differences in the maximum screw stress among all the groups during flexion/extension, lateral bending, and rotation (P > 0.05). There were no significant differences in the maximum displacement of the bone defect area of the injured vertebrae among all the groups during flexion/extension, lateral bending, and rotation (P > 0.05).

conclusionShort-segment Schanz screw implanted in an oblique downward direction with different angles (0°/parellel, 5°, 10°, and 15°) did not change the maximum stress of the screws, and there was a lower risk of screw breakage in all groups during flexion/extension, lateral bending, and rotation. In addition, the displacement of the injured vertebra defect area had no significant changes with the change of angles.
