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

Introduction: The aim of this study was to explore the association between sagittal spinopelvic alignment and persistent low back pain (PLBP) following posterior decompression and instrumented fusion for mild L5-S1 spondylolisthesis. Methods: By retrieving medical records from January 2015 to April 2020, 200 patients following PLIF for mild L5-S1 spondylolisthesis were retrospectively reviewed. Patients were divided into two groups: PLBP group and non-PLBP group. The baseline characteristics and radiographic parameters were analyzed and compared between groups. Results: The PLBP group comprised 26 patients, and the non-PLBP group comprised 174 patients. No significant differences in preoperative spinopelvic parameters were found between the two groups ( Conclusion: Patients with mild L5-S1 spondylolisthesis with PLBP after posterior lumbar spinal fusion had decreased SS and increased PT.
