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
introductionThe aim of this study is to evaluate the clinical and radiological results of cervical disc arthroplasty (CDA) in patients with cervical spondylotic myelopathy (CSM) using the CP ESP MATERIALS AND
methodsProspectively collected data of 56 patients with CSM have been analyzed. The mean age at surgery was 35.6 years (range: 25-43 years). The mean follow-up was 28.2 months (range: 13-42 months). The range of motion (ROM) of the index segments, as well as upper and lower adjacent segments, was measured before surgery and at final follow-up. The C2-C7 sagittal vertical axis (SVA), C2-C7 cervical lordosis (CL), and T1 slope minus cervical lordosis (T1s-CL) were analyzed as well. Pain intensity was measured preoperatively and during follow-up using an 11-point numeric rating scale (NRS). Modified Japanese Orthopaedic Association (mJOA) score was assessed preoperatively and during follow-up for the clinical assessment of myelopathy. Surgical and implant-associated complications were analyzed as well.
resultsThe NRS pain score improved from a mean of 7.4 (±1.1) preoperatively to a mean of 1.5 (±0.7) at last follow-up (
conclusionsCDA showed good clinical and radiological outcome in this cohort of young patients. The motion of index segments could be preserved. CDA may be a viable treatment option in selected patients with CSM.
