The AOSpine thoracolumbar spine injury classification system: A comparative study with the thoracolumbar injury classification system and severity score in children.
Article in OTA international : the open access journal of orthopaedic trauma, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. Cited by 6 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
backgroundThere is no uniform classification in the pediatric population for thoracolumbar (TL) fractures, nor any operative guidelines. This study evaluates the AOSpine TL spine injury classification in the pediatric population and compares it to the thoracolumbar injury classification system (TLICS), which has previously been validated in pediatric spine trauma.
methodsTwenty-eight patients with operative TL injuries were identified from 2006 to 2016. Inclusion criteria included available imaging, operative records, age <18, and posterior approach. Each case was classified by AOSpine TL spine injury classification and TLICS. Each classification was compared to documented intraoperative posterior ligamentous complex (PLC) integrity as well as each other.
resultsUtilizing the AOSpine TL spine injury classification, 7 patients had type A injuries, 15 patients had type B injuries, and 6 patients had type C injuries; 21 patients had injuries classified as involving the PLC. Using TLICS, 16 patients had burst fractures, 6 patients had distraction injuries, and 6 patients had translation injuries; 21 patients had injuries classified as involving the PLC. Spearman correlation analysis substantiated convergence of AOSpine TL spine injury classification scores to TLICS scores (
conclusionThere is high statistical correlation between the AOSpine TL spine injury classification and TLICS, and to intraoperative evaluation of the PLC, suggesting that the AOSpine TL spine injury classification is applicable to the pediatric population. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: III.
