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

objectiveTo explore the efficacy of percutaneous pedicle screw internal fixation and minimally invasive lateral small incisions lesion debridement and bone graft fusion via dilated channels in the treatment of lumbar tuberculosis.

methodsThe clinical data of 22 cases of lumbar tuberculosis treated with percutaneous pedicle screw internal fixation combined with dilated channels with minimally invasive lateral small incision lesion debridement and bone graft fusion between January 2016 and June 2018 were retrospectively analyzed. There were 12 males and 10 females, with an average age of 47.5 years (range, 22-75 years). The affected segments were L

resultsThe operation time was 110-148 minutes (mean, 132.8 minutes) and the intraoperative blood loss was 70-110 mL (mean, 89.9 mL). Two patients experienced fat liquefaction of the incision and delayed healing; the incisions of the remaining patients healed by first intention. All patients were followed up 18-24 months, with an average of 21.3 months. All bone grafts achieved osseous fusion, the pedicle screws were fixed in reliable positions, without loosening, displacement, or broken rods. There was no recurrence of tuberculosis. The ESR, CRP, VAS scores, ODI scores, and kyphosis Cobb angle of the affected segment at 3 months after operation and last follow-up were significantly improved (

conclusionPercutaneous pedicle screw internal fixation combined with dilated channels with minimally invasive lateral small incisions lesion debridement and bone graft fusion has the advantages of less bleeding, less trauma, and faster recovery, which is safe and effective in the treatment of lumbar tuberculosis.
