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 evaluate the feasibility and safety of three-dimensional (3D) printed drill guide template-assisted percutaneous pedicle screw fixation for multiple-level thoracolumbar fractures.

methodsClinical data of 19 patients with multilevel thoracolumbar fracture without nerve injury who underwent surgical treatment between May 2017 and January 2019 were retrospectively analyzed. There were 9 males and 10 females and their age ranged from 22 to 63 years, with an average age of 43.6 years. Injury cause included traffic accident injury in 12 cases, and fall from height injury in 7 cases. A total of 40 fractured vertebrae were involved in T

resultsAll the 19 patients completed the operation successfully, and the intraoperative blood loss was 44-67 mL, with an average of 54.3 mL. The average operation time for each screw insertion was 7.3-11.1 minutes, with an average of 9.6 minutes. The average fluoroscopy frequency of each screw insertion was 1.6-2.5 times, with an average of 2.0 times. No spinal cord, nerve root injury, infection, and other complications occurred. All patients were followed up 24-38 months, with an average of 28.7 months. The accuracy of pedicle screws was evaluated by using Gertzbein and Robbins scales: 145 screws were grade A and 11 screws were grade B. The accuracy of screw insertion was 100% and the excellent rate was 92.9%. The CT data at 3 days after operation showed no significant difference in the inclination between the left and right screws in the same vertebral body (

conclusionFor the multiple-level thoracolumbar fractures, 3D-printed drill guide template assisting percutaneous pedicle screw fixation can reduce the operation time, intraoperative blood loss, and fluoroscopy frequency and the screw insertion is accurate and has a good reduction effect.
