Profit Analysis of Minimal-invasive Approaches for Surgical Treatment of A3 Spinal Burst Fractures.

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/
aimRegarding the surgical treatment of incomplete burst fractures of the spine, no optimal standard procedure has been established. While previous studies have focused on radiological and surgical outcome parameters, the literature has not elucidated economic aspects of various surgical treatment options in detail yet. This study aimed to investigate whether open and minimal-invasive approaches differ in their economic profit gain. Furthermore, we examined whether a single-stage or two-stage approach of anterior-posterior fusion was more profitable. PATIENTS AND
methodsBy analyzing retrospectively data of 129 patients who underwent surgical procedure due to isolated incomplete burst fractures, we examined the economic profit and radiological parameter of open pedicle screw insertion, minimal-invasive techniques (percutaneous screws, percutaneous screws combined with SpineJack
