Anterior Cervical Discectomy and Fusion Combined with Foraminotomy Assisted by High-Definition 3-Dimensional Exoscope in the Treatment of Cervical Spondylotic Radiculopathy Secondary to Bony Foraminal Stenosis.
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 14 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 evaluate the outcomes of cervical spondylotic radiculopathy secondary to bony foraminal stenosis treated with anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF) combined with anterior cervical foraminotomy (ACF) assisted by High-Definition 3-Dimensional Exoscope.
methodsIn this retrospective study, a total of 19 consecutive patients (12 males and seven females, with an average of 49.2 years, range from 40 to 59 years) with spondylotic radiculopathy caused by bony foraminal stenosis underwent ACDF combined with ACF assisted by High-Definition 3-Dimensional Exoscope in our hospital between January 2019 and December 2019 were included in this study. All patients signed the consent form before the surgery. The patient baseline information such as gender, age, body mass index (BMI), surgery time, blood loss, hospital stay, lesion segment, side, follow-up time and postoperative complications were recorded. The Japanese Orthopedic Association (JOA), Neck Disability Index (NDI), and Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) were measured and compared before surgery, 1 months and final follow-up after surgery. The radiographic outcomes were evaluated using the C
resultsThe involved levels included C
conclusionACDF combined with ACF assisted by High-Definition 3-Dimensional Exoscope is effective and safe for the treatment of CSR caused by secondary to bony foraminal stenosis.
