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

STUDY

designA prospective cohort study.

objectivesTo report a new index, the realigned K-line, for predicting surgical outcomes after laminoplasty in patients with degenerative cervical myelopathy (DCM).

methodsOne hundred twenty-eight patients with DCM undergoing laminoplasty were enrolled from January 2018 to April 2021 in our department. A realigned K-line was defined as the line connecting the midpoints of the spinal cord between C2 and C7 on realigned T1-weighted magnetic resonance imaging. The minimum interval between the anterior compression factors of the spinal cord and the realigned K-line (INT
