Etiology and treatment of cervical kyphosis: state of the art review-a narrative review.
Review in Journal of spine surgery (Hong Kong), 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT07641959 (Effects of Sahrmann's Approach on Pain, Range of Motion, Craniovertebral Angle and Function in Patients With Cervical Extension Syndrome), which is not on this map. Cited by 32 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.

Abstract
objectiveTo provide state of the art review regarding cervical kyphosis.
backgroundCervical spine kyphosis has been increasingly common due to the growing elderly population. Clinicians should comprehensively understand its symptoms, biomechanics, etiology, radiographic evaluation, classification, and treatment options and complications of each treatment. Comprehensive review will help clinicians improve the management for patients with cervical kyphosis.
methodsThe available literature relevant to cervical kyphosis was reviewed. PubMed, Medline, OVID, EMBASE, and Cochrane were used to review the literature.
conclusionsThis article summarizes current concepts regarding etiology, evaluation, surgical treatment, complications and outcomes of cervical kyphosis. Major etiologies of cervical kyphosis include degenerative, post-laminectomy, and ankylosing spondylitis. Clinical presentations include neck pain, myelopathy, radiculopathy, and problems with horizontal gaze, swallowing and breathing. Cervical lordosis, C2-7 sagittal vertical axis, chin-brow to vertical angle, and T1 slope should be evaluated from upright lateral 36-inch film. The most widely used classification system includes a deformity descriptor and 5 modifiers. A deformity descriptor provides a basic grouping of the deformity consisting of five types, cervical, cervicothoracic, thoracic, coronal cervical deformity, and cranio-vertebral junction deformity. The 5 modifiers include C2-7 sagittal vertical axis, chin-brow to vertical angle, T1 slope minus cervical lordosis, myelopathy based on modified Japanese Orthopaedic Association score, and SRS-Schwab classification for thoracolumbar deformity. Current treatment options include anterior discectomy and fusion, anterior osteotomy, Smith-Peterson osteotomy, pedicle subtraction osteotomy, or a combination of these based on careful preoperative evaluation.
