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

Objective: The study aimed to investigate the effect of anterior cervical surgery in the treatment of spinal cord injury without radiographic abnormalities (SCIWORAs) and analyze the related factors affecting the prognosis of patients. Methods: A total of 86 patients with SCIWORA who were admitted to our hospital from June 2018 to March 2021 were selected as the research subjects. According to the different treatment methods selected by the patients, they were divided into the control group ( Results: The JOA score of the observation group six months after surgery was (14.98 ± 2.75) that was higher than that of the control group (12.16 ± 2.54) ( Conclusion: For patients with SCIWORA, anterior total lamina decompression and internal fixation with bone grafting and fusion can effectively promote the recovery of cervical spinal cord function and improve the prognosis and quality of life of patients. The ASIA classification of cervical spinal cord injury, the type of MRI cervical spinal cord injury, the scope of cervical spinal cord injury, and the time from injury to treatment were the independent prognostic factors for patients.
