Factors affecting titanium mesh cage subsidence in single-level anterior cervical corpectomy and fusion for ossification of the posterior longitudinal ligament.
Article in Journal of orthopaedic surgery and research, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 14 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
purposeTo analyze risk factors of titanium mesh cage (TMC) subsidence in single-level anterior cervical corpectomy and fusion (ACCF) for cervical ossification of the posterior longitudinal ligament (OPLL).
methodsTMC subsidence is defined as the reduction of the adjacent vertebral bodies by ≥ 2 mm. Patients with cervical OPLL who were treated with single-level ACCF between January 2019 and May 2021 were retrospectively analyzed in two groups: patients with TMC subsidence as Group S and patients with no TMC subsidence as Group N during the one-year follow-up period. The degree of distraction of surgical segment and correction of the cervical curvature was measured to analyze their relationship with TMC subsidence.
resultsA total of 128 patients were included in Group S, and 138 patients were included in Group N. There was no significant difference in patient demographics and complications between the two groups. The degree of distraction in Group S was significantly higher than that in Group N (11.4% ± 7.6% vs. 4.7% ± 9.7%, P < 0.01). The change of C2 to C7 Cobb angle (α) in Group S was significantly greater than that in Group N (5.7 ± 2.7 vs. 1.4 ± 4.7, P < 0.01), and the change of interspinous process distance (SPD) in Group S was also significantly greater than that in Group N (7.0 ± 4.2 vs. 4.1 ± 2.7, P < 0.01). The JOA score and JOA recovery rate were not statistically different between the two groups.
conclusionsIntraoperative selection of overlength TMC in single-level ACCF for OPLL, over-distraction and excessive correction of the cervical curvature may cause TMC subsidence after surgery. No significant impact of TMC subsidence on the surgical outcome was observed during the 1-year follow-up period.
