Treatment of three-level cervical spondylotic myelopathy using ACDF or a combination of ACDF and ACCF.
Article in Frontiers in surgery, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
Objectives: This study aims to compare the outcomes between two anterior decompression and fusion techniques to treat multilevel cervical spondylotic myelopathy (MCSM). Methods: After the screening for eligibility, a total of 66 patients were admitted to this study. These participants underwent anterior surgeries due to MCSM in our hospital between June 2016 and July 2018. All participants underwent either the anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF) surgery (ACDF group) or the combination of ACDF and anterior cervical corpectomy and fusion (ACCF), which was the anterior cervical hybrid decompression and fusion (ACHDF) surgery group. All the patients were followed up ≥18 months, the average latest followed up time was 23.64 (±2.69) months. The length of hospitalization, operation time, blood loss, visual analog scale (VAS), Japanese Orthopaedic Association (JOA) score, improvement rate, Hounsfield units (HU) of C3-C7, cobb angle, and anterior column height of fusion levels pre and post operation were analyzed. Results: There were no statistical differences between the ACDF and ACHDF groups regarding the length of hospitalization, operation time, blood loss, HU of C3-C7, VAS, JOA score, improvement rate, cobb angle, and anterior column height in fusion levels in pre-operation and 3 months after operation (all Conclusions: Both approaches of ACDF alone and a combination of ACDF and ACCF can achieve satisfactory outcomes in the treatment of MCSM, but ACDF has better outcomes in maintaining anterior column height of fusion levels.
