An Economic Analysis of Early and Late Complications After Adult Spinal Deformity Correction.
Article in Global spine journal, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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 DESIGN/
settingRetrospective cohort.
objectiveAdult spinal deformity (ASD) corrective surgery is often a highly invasive procedure portending patients to both immediate and long-term complications. Therefore, we sought to compare the economic impact of certain complications before and after 2 years.
methodsASD patients with minimum 3-year data included. Complication groups were defined as follows: any complication, major, medical, mechanical, radiographic, and reoperation. Complications stratified by occurrence
results244 patients included.
conclusionMechanical complications had the single greatest impact on cost-utility after adult spinal deformity surgery, but less so after 2 years. Understanding the cost-utility of specific interventions at certain timepoints may mitigate economic burden and prophylactic efforts should strategically be made against early mechanical complications.
