Risk Factors, Incidence and Mortality of Vertebral Artery Injury in Patients Undergoing Anterior Cervical Corpectomy: A Retrospective Large National Data Base Study.
Article in Global spine journal, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
STUDY
designRetrospective Cohort Study.
objectiveTo determine the incidence of vertebral artery injury (VAI), risk factors, intervention, associated complications, and mortality in patients undergoing anterior cervical corpectomy.
methodsWe performed a retrospective review of the incidence of VAI during anterior cervical corpectomy using the PearlDiver database from 2010-2017. The CPT code 63 081 to identify corpectomy patients. Patient data extracted included, incidence of VAI, demographic factors, intervention, and future complications of death and stroke. The risk were calculated compared with those patients who did not have VAI.
results26 126 patients were identified to have undergone cervical corpectomy. Multivariate analysis of risk factors showed that younger age and male sex were associate with higher rate of injury (t = -11.5;
conclusionConsequence of VAI may not be known for months following the injury. Although the same admission mortality is rare with this injury, there is a significant increase in post-discharge complications. This study suggests that further investigations into long term health risk of VAI is needed.
