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

backgroundEmery-Dreifuss muscular dystrophy (EDMD) is an uncommon, gradually progressive X-linked myopathy, and it could result in rigid spinal deformity. Only a few case reports have described surgical treatment of cervical hyperlordosis and thoracolumbar kyphoscoliosis secondary to EDMD. We report a rare case of EDMD to present the surgical strategies of severe cervical hyperlordosis and thoracolumbar kyphoscoliosis. CASE PRESENTATION: The patient was a 22-year-old man with EDMD who had severe cervical hyperlordosis and thoracolumbar kyphoscoliosis. A posterior spinal fusion from T9-S2 was performed to correct the thoracolumbar kyphoscoliosis at the age of 21 years. Six months later, with an anterior C7-T1 closing wedge bone-disc-bone osteotomy and a posterior-anterior-posterior cervicothoracic fusion from C4-T4, the cervical deformity was corrected, thus achieving a horizontal gaze. During 1.5-year follow-up, no loss of correction was observed.

conclusionCervical posterior-anterior-posterior closing-wedge osteotomy combined with long fusion at thoracolumbar spine can be a reliable surgical technique to correct severe spine deformity in EDMD. This two-stage revision surgical strategy can help restore a horizontal gaze on the basis of a balanced trunk. Cervical deformity in such patients should be corrected in the first stage considering its role as a "driver" of the global spine deformity.
