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: To explore the feasibility of 3D printing-assisted pedicle screw correction surgery for degenerative scoliosis. Methods: From January 1, 2015 to January 31, 2020, patients with degenerative scoliosis who received corrective surgery in our hospital were retrospectively analyzed. Patients were grouped based on the fixation methods. Patients in the control group received traditional pedicle screw internal fixation, while those in the study group received 3D printing-assisted pedicle screw fixation. The therapeutic effects were compared. Results: There were 78 cases in the control group and 82 cases in the study group. There were no significant differences in scoliotic Cobb's angle, pelvic incidence-lumbar lordosis (PI-LL), VAS score, JOA score, social function, physical function, role function, or cognitive function between the study group and the control group before the surgery, but there were differences in the above parameters between the two groups after surgery. The incidence of postoperative complications in the study group was also significantly lower in the study group. Conclusion: 3D printing-assisted pedicle screw correction surgery provides a strong 3D correction force with reliable effect and fewer complications, and is a good treatment choice for degenerative scoliosis.
