Efficacy and Safety of Posterior Long-Segment Fixation Versus Posterior Short-Segment Fixation for Kummell Disease: A Meta-Analysis.
Review in Geriatric orthopaedic surgery & rehabilitation, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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
Purpose: Posterior short-segment fixation (SSF) and long-segment fixation (LSF) are two methods for the treatment of Kummell disease, but the safety and effectiveness of these two surgical methods still lack adequate medical evidence. This study aimed to evaluate the two methods. Methods: Database searches for randomized controlled trials, case-control studies, and cohort studies of posterior SSF and posterior LSF in the treatment of Kummell disease were performed. After the document quality was evaluated with the Newcastle-Ottawa Quality Assessment Scale, a meta-analysis was carried out. Results: Meta-analysis revealed that the operation time and intraoperative blood loss in the LSF group were higher than those in the SSF group [MD = -18.17, 95% CI (-30.31, -6.03), z = 2.93, Conclusion: SSF and LSF are effective and safe for the treatment of Kummell disease. SSF can reduce the operation time and intraoperative bleeding; LSF can better maintain the long-term stability of kyphosis. The methods should be evaluated by clinicians according to the individual situation of the patients.
