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

objectiveThe paper uses the convolutional neural network algorithm in the deep learning algorithm to explore the therapeutic effect of surgical treatment of hyperextension injuries associated with ossification of the posterior longitudinal ligament of the cervical spine.

methodsIn this retrospectively analyzed study 27 patients with hyperextension injury of the posterior longitudinal ligament of the cervical spine were selected from our hospital between August 2018 to July 2020. It included 21 males and 6 females; aged 36-79 years, with an average of 55.9 years.

resultsFollow-up time of patients was 3-39 months, with an average of 17.4 months. The JOA score after surgery was significantly better than that before surgery (P<0.01), which was statistically significant; the improvement of JOA in patients undergoing anterior therapy was better than that in patients undergoing posterior therapy, which was statistically significant; the JOA improved in patients with minor violent injuries. The situation is significantly better than severe violent injuries, with statistical significance. The rate of postoperative JOA improvement was significantly correlated with the degree of nerve function retention of the injured spinal cord before surgery (P<0.01), and there was no significant correlation between the degree of spinal stenosis caused by ossification and the postoperative JOA improvement of patients.

conclusionConvolutional neural network algorithm in the deep learning algorithm based on the cervical spine posterior longitudinal ligament ossification hyperextension injury was significantly improved after surgery. The less preoperative neurological damage, the postoperative neurological function, the degree of improvement, there was no significant correlation between the degree of spinal stenosis and the improvement of postoperative spinal cord function. For patients with ossification of the posterior longitudinal ligament, if there are neurological symptoms, early surgical treatment is recommended to relieve the compression, so as to prevent irreversible neurological damage caused by trauma.
