Risk Factors of Unplanned Readmission after Anterior Cervical Discectomy and Fusion: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.
Synthesis in Yonsei medical journal, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
purposeWith an increasing number of anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF) being conducted for degenerative cervical disc disease, there is a rising interest in the related quality of management and healthcare costs. Unplanned readmission after ACDF affects both the quality of management and medical expenses. This meta-analysis was performed to evaluate the risk factors of unplanned readmission after ACDF to improve the quality of management and prevent increase in healthcare costs. MATERIALS AND
methodsWe searched the databases of PubMed, EMBASE, Web of Science, and Cochrane Library to identify eligible studies using the searching terms, "readmission" and "ACDF." A total of 10 studies were included.
resultsAmong the demographic risk factors, older age [weighted mean difference (WMD), 3.93; 95% confidence interval (CI), 2.30-5.56;
conclusionMale, older age, HTN, DM, CAD, ASA grade >2, anxiety and depression, pulmonary complications were significantly associated with an increased occurrence of unplanned readmission after ACDF.
