Update of the Natural History, Pathophysiology, and Treatment Strategies of Degenerative Cervical Myelopathy: A Narrative Review.
Article in Asian spine journal, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT07713927 (Anterior Cervical Discectomy Using Stand-Alone Cage Versus Cage-Screw Fixation), which is not on this map. Cited by 19 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.

Abstract
Cervical myelopathy is a clinical syndrome resulting in symptoms of neurologic deficits due to prolonged spinal cord compression or ischemia in the cervical spine. Spinal cord compression can be caused by ossification of the posterior longitudinal ligament and hypertrophy of ligamentun flavum in addition to degenerative cervical spondylosis, degenerative disc disease, and progressive cervical kyphosis. Degenerative cervical myelopathy (DCM) is a series of disease entities caused by spinal cord compression by various nontraumatic and non-infectious causes. The pathophysiology of DCM includes spinal cord structure and function abnormalities caused by both static and dynamic factors. Surgical decompression for patients with moderate to severe cervical myelopathy not only inhibits the progression of neurological deterioration, but also improves functional status, pain, and quality of life. However, the role of nonsurgical treatment in patients with mild spinal cord compression is controversial. In general, patients with cervical myelopathies who do not undergo surgery have a poor prognosis. Appropriate surgical treatment is recommended when spinal cord compression is confirmed on image study in patients with reasonable symptoms of cervical myelopathy. The patient's overall health, degree of compression, presence of concurrent cervical radiculopathy, and cervical spine alignment, in addition to lesion location and etiology, should be considered when determining an appropriate surgical procedure. This review covers the updated issues, including pathophysiology, clinical manifestations, differential diagnosis, and available treatments for DCM.
