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

Degenerative lumbar spine disease is becoming increasingly prevalent in the aging population. Surgical treatment is the standard treatment modality for intractable cases, but the reoperation rate remains high. We conducted this study to longitudinally evaluate the impact of health risk factors on the risk of lumbar spine reoperation in Koreans aged over 40 years. Subjects aged > 40 years who underwent their first lumbar spinal surgery between January 2005 and December 2008 were selected and followed up until 2015. A total of 6300 people were included. The reoperation rate during the 10-year follow-up period was 13.2% (831/6300 patients). The reoperation rate was the highest in patients in their 60 s (15.4%, P < 0.05). The reoperation rates were also significantly higher in men (vs. women: 14.7% vs. 11.7%, P < 0.05), smokers (vs. non-smokers: 15.2% vs. 12.7%, P < 0.05), alcohol drinkers (vs. non-drinkers: 14.7% vs. 12.4%, P < 0.05), and those with a higher Charlson Comorbidity Index (CCI) score (CCI 0, 11.6%; 1-2, 13.2%; and ≥ 3, 15%; P < 0.05). Among patients undergoing lumbar spine surgery, reoperation is performed in 13.2% of patients within 10 years. Male sex, age in the 60 s, alcohol use, smoking, higher Hgb and a high CCI score increased the risk of reoperation after lumbar spine operation.
