A comparison of monoaxial pedicle screw versus polyaxial pedicle screw in short-segment posterior fixation for the treatment of thoracolumbar fractured vertebra.
Article in Annals of translational medicine, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 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
backgroundPosterior pedicle screw fixation had been applied to maintain spinal stability and avoid further nerve damage in thoracolumbar fracture. This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of short-segment posterior fixation with monoaxial pedicle screws versus polyaxial pedicle screws in treating thoracolumbar fracture.
methodsA total of 75 patients with thoracolumbar fracture who underwent short-segment posterior fixation with monoaxial pedicle screw (group A) or polyaxial pedicle screw (group B) were retrospectively enrolled. The patient demographic and radiological data were analyzed between the two groups.
resultsA total of 63 patients with an average age of 44.7±11.5 years were finally recruited in this study. There were no significant differences in age, gender, fracture level, thoracolumbar injury classification and severity scale (TLISS) score, American Spinal Injury Association (ASIA) score, Arbeitsgemeinschaft für Osteosynthesefragen (AO) classification, and hospital stay between the two groups (P>0.05). At the last follow-up, the prevertebral height ratio and normal-to-injured vertebral height ratio were significantly decreased in group A compared to group B (P=0.027 and P=0.007, respectively).
conclusionsShort-segment posterior fixation with monoaxial or polyaxial pedicle screw for fractured thoracolumbar vertebra can restore injured vertebral height. Compared with polyaxial pedicle screw, monoaxial pedicle screw endows stronger leverage which is more beneficial for restoring injured vertebral height and recovery of the damaged endplate in thoracolumbar short-segment posterior fixation.
