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

purposeLong time recognized as a cause of lumbar stenosis, degenerative spondylolisthesis has an evolution in interrelation with sagittal balance. This study aimed to assess the role of ALIF in correcting the sagittal balance in patients with degenerative spondylolisthesis. MATERIAL AND

methodsTwenty patients aged between 47 and 70 years were operated between July 2011 and September 2014 for degenerative spondylolisthesis by ALIF. The pre-operative and post-operative valid standing full spine radiographs were reviewed retrospectively. Clinical and radiological evaluations were conducted pre-operatively and postoperatively at one year and five years.

resultsLumbar lordosis (LL) was measured to 41.16 ± 14.25° pre-operatively and 47.27 ± 11.25° post-operatively (p > 0.05). At one year was 49.76 ± 13.31° and at five years 46.93 ± 9.26° (p > 0.05). Mean gain of lordosis after ALIF at index level was calculated to 8 ± 1.6° [4-12°].

conclusionsALIF offers a good reduction of the slipped vertebra providing good conditions for fusion and is an efficient surgical technique to recreate the sagittal spine balance.
