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

STUDY

designSystematic Review.

objectiveTo systematically analyze the definitions and descriptions in literature of "Spinal Posttraumatic Deformity" (SPTD) in order to support the development of a uniform and comprehensive definition of clinically relevant SPTD.

methodsA literature search in 11 international databases was performed using "deformity" AND "posttraumatic" and its synonyms. When an original definition or a description of SPTD (Patient factors, Radiological outcomes, Patient Reported Outcome Measurements and Surgical indication) was present the article was included. The retrieved articles were assessed for methodological quality and the presented data was extracted.

results46 articles met the inclusion criteria. "Symptomatic SPTD" was mentioned multiple times as an entity, however any description of "symptomatic SPTD" was not found. Pain was mentioned as a key factor in SPTD. Other patient related parameters were (progression of) neurological deficit, bone quality, age, comorbidities and functional disability. Various ways were used to determine the amount of deformity on radiographs. The amount of deformity ranged from not deviant for normal to >30°. Sagittal balance and spinopelvic parameters such as the Pelvic Incidence, Pelvic Tilt and Sacral Slope were taken into account and were used as surgical indicators and preoperative planning. The Visual Analog Scale for pain and the Oswestry Disability Index were used mostly to evaluate surgical intervention.

conclusionA clear-cut definition or consensus is not available in the literature about clinically relevant SPTD. Our research acts as the basis for international efforts for the development of a definition of SPTD.
