Comparison of radiation exposure and surgery time between an intraoperative CT with automatic surface registration and a preoperative CT with manual surface registration in navigated spinal surgeries.

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
purposeThis retrospective matched case-control study was conducted to compare two CT based surgery techniques for navigated screw placement in spinal surgery, whether a reduction of radiation exposure and surgery time could be achieved.
methodsWe matched cases treated with an intraoperative CT (iCT), regarding the type and number of implants, with cases treated with a preoperative CT (pCT) of one main surgeon. Outcome measures were radiation exposure due to intraoperative control x-rays, radiation exposure due to CT images, and the duration of surgery.
resultsThe required radiation exposure could be significantly reduced in the iCT group. For the intraoperative control X-rays by 69% (median (MED) 88.50/standard deviation (SD) 107.84 and MED 286.00/SD 485.04 for iCT and pCT respectively-in Gycm
conclusionThe results show that spinal navigation using an intraoperative CT with automatic registration compared to a preoperative CT and intraoperative manual surface registration, allows a significant reduction of radiation exposure, without prolonged surgery time. A significant benefit regarding cut-to-suture-time can be gained with surgeries of a larger scale.
