Morphometric analysis of thoracolumbar junction (T11-L2) in central Indian population: A computerized tomography based study of 800 vertebrae.

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.
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 determine various morphometric parameters like transverse and sagittal pedicle width; interpedicular distance; antero-posterior and transverse canal diameter and canal surface area at thoracolumbar junction (T11, T12, L1, L2) in central Indian population and compare results with similar studies available in literature. MATERIAL AND
methodsA prospective, computerized tomography scan based morphometric analysis of thoracolumbar junction was conducted at medical college and tertiary care centre in central India. All asymptomatic cases more than 18 years age with normal lateral radiograph and CT scan of thoracolumbar junction and free from any spinal pathology or trauma were included in the study. Parameters measured were transverse and sagittal pedicle width; interpedicular distance; antero-posterior and transverse canal diameter and canal surface area at thoracolumbar junction (T11, T12, L1, L2).
resultsMean transverse pedicle width was maximum at T11 and minimum at L1 in both males and females, whereas sagittal width was maximum at T11 and minimum at L2 in both the groups. Interpedicular distance was largest at L1 in both the groups. All the measurements were significantly different (P < 0.05) in males and females. Mean antero-posterior and transverse diameter was maximum at T12 and L2 respectively in both male and female study population. Canal surface area was maximum at L1 among males (230.10 mm
conclusionThere is significant variation in morphometric parameters of thoracolumbar junction in different races and population. Thorough knowledge of morphometry of a particular population is essential for dealing with pathology or trauma of thoracolumbar junction.
