Characteristics of interbody bone graft fusion after transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion according to intervertebral space division.
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 8 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
Background: According to intervertebral space division, the characteristics of interbody bone graft fusion after transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion (TLIF) were assessed Methods: The medical records of 57 patients with lumbar spinal stenosis and disc herniation treated with TLIF were analysed retrospectively. In total, 57 segments received lumbar interbody fusion. A thin-layer CT scan was performed to evaluate fusion in each zone of the fusion space. Results: The fusion rates were 57.89% ( Conclusion: We think the central cage zone (i.e., inner cage) should be the focus of bone grafting. Although there is small volume of bone graft on the posterior cage zone, the fusion rate is relatively high, only secondary to the inner cage zone. The fusion rate is of the contralateral decompression zone is lower although there is a bone graft.
