A complex surgery of spinal tuberculosis with a psoas abscess accompanied by fibula autografting: an alternative treatment of Pott's disease.

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
The most common manifestation of skeletal tuberculosis is tuberculosis spondylitis. Symptoms may progress insidiously from back pain to cause many severe complications. Early diagnosis and management of spinal tuberculosis have special importance in prevention. We report a case of a 24-year-old female who was diagnosed with tuberculous spondylitis, complicated with psoas abscess and grade 1/5 of lower limb weakness. The patient was treated with anti-tuberculous drugs and underwent surgical debridement, interbody fusion and internal fixation accompanied by fibular autografting using a posterior-only approach and supplemental posterior spinal stabilisation on an infected background. Within 14 years of follow-up, full bone graft spinal fusion has been achieved with no major complications. According to its clinical efficacy and feasibility, this procedure is suggested to be an alternative treatment for Pott's disease.
