Posterior Injured Vertebra Column Resection and Spinal Shortening for Thoracolumbar Fracture Associated with Severe Spinal Cord Injury: A Retrospective Case-Control Observational Study.

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
Background: Thoracolumbar spinal fracture associated with severe spinal cord injury (sSCI) is a kind of severe traumatic spine injury. Although various approaches are currently used to treat sSCI-related thoracolumbar fractures, the neurological function of patients has not been significantly improved by surgery. Objective: To evaluate the therapeutic effects of the new procedure of posterior injured vertebra column resection (PIVCR) and spinal shortening for the treatment of thoracolumbar fracture associated with sSCI. Methods: In this retrospective case-control observational study, we included 66 patients with thoracolumbar fractures associated with sSCI in our institution from January 2015 to December 2017. According to the different surgical approaches, the patients were allocated to group A ( Results: There was no significant difference in the two groups regarding preoperative demographic data, VAS scores, segmental kyphosis Cobb, canal encroachment, and neurological status. The range of spinal shortening in group B was an average 1.57 ± 0.40 cm and 36.45 ± 6.56% of the height of the single spinal motion segment. Due to the characteristics of the surgical procedure, group B got complete decompression of the spinal cord and better postoperative canal decompression than group A. Thus, better clinical outcomes, including neurological improvement, loss of corrective Cobb angle, and VAS improvement, were shown in group B at the follow-up investigation than those in group A ( Conclusion: PIVCR and spinal shortening surgical procedure is a safe, reliable, and effective approach to treating thoracolumbar fracture associated with sSCI.
