The Effect of Laminectomy with Instrumented Fusion Carried into the Thoracic Spine on the Sagittal Imbalance in Patients with Multilevel Ossification of the Posterior Longitudinal Ligament.
Article in Orthopaedic surgery, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. 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
objectiveTo determine if there is a difference in either the cervical alignment or the clinical outcomes in cervical ossification of the posterior longitudinal ligament (OPLL) patients who underwent laminectomy with instrumented fusion (LIF) ending at C
methodsThis was a single-center retrospective study. In total, 36 patients with cervical OPLL who underwent three or more level LIF in our institution between January 2015 and January 2017 were enrolled. They were divided into three groups according to their distal ends: C
resultsAll patients were followed up at least 1 year. The blood loss in T group was significantly more than C
conclusionAlthough posterior fusion terminating in the thoracic spine was not superior to the cervical spine for patients with multilevel OPLL, for elderly patients (>67 years) with great preoperative SVA (>30 mm), terminating at C
