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

backgroundRadiologic adjacent segment degeneration (ASDeg) can occur after spinal surgery. Adjacent segment disease (ASDis) is defined as the development of new clinical symptoms corresponding to radiographic changes adjacent to the level of previous spinal surgery. Greater pre-existing ASDeg is generally considered to result in more severe ASDis; nonetheless, whether the ASDeg status before index surgery influences the postoperative risk of revision surgery due to ASDis warrants investigation.

aimTo identify possible risk factors for ASDis and verify the concept that greater preexisting ASDeg leads to more severe ASDis.

methodsData from 212 patients who underwent posterior decompression with Dynesys stabilization from January 2006 to June 2016 were retrospectively analyzed. Patients who underwent surgery for ASDis were categorized as group A (

resultsThe mean time of reoperation was 7.22 (1.65-11.84) years in group A, and the mean follow-up period was 6.09 (0.10-12.76) years in group B. No significant difference in reoperation risk was observed: Modified Pfirrmann grade 3

conclusionGreater preexisting upper ASDeg was not associated with a higher rate of reoperation for ASDis after Dynesys surgery. Being overweight tended to increase reoperation risk after Dynesys surgery for ASDis.
