Predictive model of global tilt (GT) determined by individual thoracic kyphosis, lumbar lordosis and pelvic incidence in the human degenerative spine.
Article in European spine journal : official publication of the European Spine Society, the European Spinal Deformity Society, and the European Section of the Cervical Spine Research Society, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
purposePrevious studies only investigated the simple linear relationships of global tilt (GT) with thoracic kyphosis (TK), lumbar lordosis (LL) and pelvic incidence (PI). This study aimed to establish multiple linear regressions of GT based on individual TK, LL and PI in patients with degenerative spines.
methodsFour hundred sixty-nine adult patients aged older than 35 years with various degenerative spinal diseases were enrolled in this two-centre study between January 2017 and December 2020. Full-spine X-rays were performed for all the subjects in a standing position. The following regional and global parameters were measured in the sagittal plane: TK, LL, PI, pelvic tilt (PT), sagittal vertical axis (SVA) and GT. The correlations of the GT, PT and SVA with the TK, LL and PI were analysed, and then multiple linear regressions were constructed.
resultsGT was statistically correlated with TK, LL and PI. Additionally, TK, LL and PI were significant predictors for the GT, PT and SVA models. The relevant predictive formulae were as follows: GT = -9.60 + 1.09*PI + 0.89*LL + 0.42*TK (R
conclusionThe specific sagittal spinopelvic morphology, evaluated by GT parameters, should be determined by individual TK, LL and PI values in the degenerative spine. Surgeons can utilize such predictive models to better understand the degenerative evolution of sagittal alignment and recognize the relationships between regional parameters and global sagittal alignment to customize a precise correction strategy.
