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

Objectives: The objectives of this study were to identify the risk factors and incidence of anterior bone loss (ABL) after Baguera C cervical disc arthroplasty (CDA) and identify whether design differences in artificial discs affect ABL. Methods: In this retrospective radiological review of patients who underwent single-level Baguera C CDA in a medical center, the extent of ABL and the following radiological parameters were recorded: global and segmental alignment angle, lordotic angle (or functional spinal unit angle), shell angle, global range of motion (ROM), and ROM of the index level. ABL at the index level was grade 0-2. Grade 0 was defined as no remodeling, grade 1 as spur disappearance or mild change in body contour, and grade 2 as obvious bone regression with Baguera C Disc exposure. Results: Combining grade 1 and grade 2, ABL was found in 56 upper adjacent vertebrae and 52 lower adjacent vertebrae of the 77 patients. Only 18 patients (23.4%) had no ABL. Shell angle differed significantly between ABL grades of both the upper and lower adjacent level: 0.0° in grade 0 and 1 ABL vs. 2.0° in grade 2 ABL of the upper adjacent level ( Conclusions: ABL is more common in Baguera C Disc arthroplasty than Bryan Disc arthroplasty. Larger shell angle was related to ABL after CDA with Baguera C Discs, which may indicate that shell angle is pivotal in determining the incidence of ABL after CDA. Females had more ABL with Baguera C Disc arthroplasty; this might be related to shorter endplate lengths as well as a smaller endplate-implant mismatch.
