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

backgroundThe purpose of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of minimally invasive posterior mono-axial pedicle screws fixation in the treatment of thoracolumbar burst fractures.

methodsIn the present study, we analyzed 98 patients retrospectively who had thoracolumbar burst fractures without a neurological deficit. Patients were divided into two groups: mono-axial pedicle screw fixation group (

resultsSagittal index was significantly improved at postop and last follow-up in the mono group and the poly group. The mono group was better for reducing and maintaining anterior vertebral height. For the mono group, the mean postoperative regional kyphosis correction rate was 62.31%, and correction loss was 14.18% in late follow-up. For the poly group, the mean postoperative regional kyphosis correction rate was 52.17%, and correction loss was 33.42% in late follow-up. The mono-axial pedicle screw group had a good correction rate and reduced the risks of correction loss. The mean VAS scores for back pain improved by 2.4/2.5 and 3.8/4.2 for the mono and poly groups, respectively. There was no significant difference between groups.

conclusionsThe mono-axial pedicle screw fixation was better for reducing and maintaining anterior vertebral height and regional kyphosis. Therefore, the mono-axial pedicle screw is a better optional instrumentation to treat thoracolumbar vertebral fractures.
