Preliminary Clinical Outcome of One-level Mobi-C Total Disc Replacement in Japanese Population.
Article in Spine surgery and related research, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
introductionIn 2018, the first Mobi-C
methodsWe examined 24 consecutive patients who underwent 1-level TDR after 2018 and followed up for more than 6 months after surgery. The evaluation criteria included age, gender, diagnosis, follow-up period, surgical level, implant size, surgery time, intraoperative bleeding volume, complications, revision surgery, imaging findings, JOA score, and various questionnaires.
resultsThe mean age was 52.7 years, 13 males and 11 females. There were 15 cases of cervical disk herniation and 9 cases of cervical spondylosis. The mean follow-up period was 17.4 months. Surgical levels were C3/4 in 4 cases, C4/5 in 2 cases, C5/6 in 16 cases, and C6/7 in 2 cases. The mean operation time was 138.5 minutes, the amount of intraoperative bleeding was 32.1 ml, and there were no serious intraoperative complications. The range of motion of the affected level increased significantly, from 6.6 degrees preoperatively to 12.2 degrees at final follow-up. No patients required revision surgery at final follow-up, and there were no cases of heterotopic ossification or adjacent segment disease. One patient exhibited radiculopathy due to mild subsidence 1 year after surgery, and 1 had asymptomatic contact of device plates. Preoperative and final JOA scores improved from 11.7 to 15.8 points, and NRS improved from 4.3 to 1.3 points for neck pain and 4.3 to 1.7 points for arm pain. Preoperative and final NDI improved from 39.7% to 14.0%, and EQ-5D improved from 0.602 to 0.801.
