Laminoplasty and simultaneous C2 semi-laminectomy with internal fixation in treating ossification of the posterior longitudinal ligament in cervical discs at C2 segment.
Article in American journal of translational research, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
objectiveTo explore the effect of open-door laminoplasty and simultaneous C2 semi-laminectomy with lateral mass screw fixation (LSLF) in treating ossification of the posterior longitudinal ligament (OPLL) in cervical discs at C2 segment.
methodsIn this retrospective study, 76 patients diagnosed with OPLL in cervical discs at C2 segment from November 2016 to May 2019 were included. These patients were assigned into a LSLF group (n=41, LSLF surgery) and LF group (n=35, laminectomy and lateral mass screw fixation) according to the treatment they received. The surgery time and intraoperative blood loss were recorded. Improvements in neurological function (JOA score), cervical curvature index (CCI), spinal cord drift distance, cross-sectional area (CSA) of the posterior muscles from cervical spine, occurrence of C5 palsy, and severity of axial symptoms were evaluated between LSLF group and LF group.
resultsCompared with LF group, the operative time was longer and blood loss volume was higher in LSLF group (P<0.05). No statistical difference was found in decompression width between LSLF group and LF group, while the drift distance of spinal cord in LSLF group was larger than that in LF group (P<0.05). No obvious differences were observed in anteroposterior dural sac diameter after the surgery between LSLF group and LF group. CSA in LF group decreased more than that in LSLF group (P<0.05). No remarkable difference was obtained in CCI at the final follow-up between LSLF group and LF group. The NDI score after surgery in the LSLF group was significantly decreased compared to LF group (P<0.05), while no differences were observed in JOA scores or the neurological recovery rate between LSLF group and LF group. The occurrence of C5 palsy in the LSLF group was 4.9%, which was less than that of LF group (20.0%). In contrast to LF group, postoperative axial symptoms in LSLF group were decreased (P<0.05).
conclusionCompared to LF, LSLF could better improve neck functions, and reduce the severity of axial symptoms and the occurrence of C5 palsy for patients with OPLL at C2 segment.
