Post-operative radiculitis following one or two level anterior lumbar surgery with or without posterior instrumentation.
Article in Journal of orthopaedics. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
The purpose of this study was to define risk factors for non-compression radiculitis following anterior lumbar surgery with or without posterior instrumentation and to define a time to resolution. In this study, we followed 58 consecutive patients who had anterior lumbar surgery with or without posterior instrumentation. We identified those with and without post-operative radiculitis. There as a 36.5% rate of postoperative radiculitis. We found that there was a moderate to strong correlation with height change and radiculitis (
