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 explore the clinical characteristics and surgical treatment strategies of delayed spinal cord injury (SCI) caused by atypical compression of old thoracolumbar fracture.

methodsBetween January 2011 and June 2018, 32 patients with delayed SCI caused by atypical compression of old thoracolumbar fracture who met the inclusion criteria were admitted and divided into group A (20 cases, underwent anterior subtotal vertebral body resection+titanium mesh reconstruction+screw rod internal fixation) and group B (12 cases, underwent posterior 270° ring decompression of vertebral canal+titanium mesh reconstruction+screw rod internal fixation) according to the different operation approaches. There was no significant difference between the two groups in age, gender, cause of injury, fracture segment, disease duration, preoperative American Spinal Injury Association (ASIA) classification, and preoperative back pain visual analogue scale (VAS) score, lumbar Japanese Orthopaedic Association (JOA) score, kyphosis angle, and vertebral canal occupational ratio (

resultsExcept that the incision length in group A was significantly shorter than that in group B (

conclusionIn the later stage of treatment of old thoracolumbar fractures, even mild kyphosis and spinal canal occupying may induce delayed SCI. Surgical correction and decompression can significantly promote the recovery of damaged spinal cord function. Compared with anterior approach surgery, posterior approach surgery has the advantages of less trauma, convenient operation, and fewer complications, so it can be preferred.
