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
Objective: To compare surgical outcomes of C2 dome-like laminectomy with C2 partial laminectomy in patients with ossification of the posterior longitudinal ligament (OPLL) up to the C2 level and above. Methods: 32 patients underwent surgical treatment for OPLL up to C2 and were divided into: C2 dome-like laminectomy group (C2-DOM group, Results: The JOA score and NDI significantly improved at the final follow-up in both groups with no significant intergroup differences. There were no significant differences in preoperative dura width at C2/3 and VAS between the two groups. At the final follow-up, dura width at C2/3 in the C2-PL group was significantly larger than the C2-DOM group, while the VAS of C2-DOM group was significantly lower than C2-PL group. The CCI in both groups decreased compared with before surgery, and there was no significant difference in CCI between the two groups. Conclusion: C2-DOM is less demolitive and reduces postoperative neck pain, while C2-PL can achieve more adequate decompression without increasing the risk of postoperative cervical kyphosis.
