Factors related to T1 slope: spinopelvic balance and thoracic compensation.
Article in BMC surgery, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. Cited by 10 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.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
objectiveTo identify factors associated with T1 slope (T1S).
methodsA total of 215 patients over 18 years old who underwent whole-spine X-rays to evaluate lower back pain were enrolled in this study. T1S, pelvic tilt (PT), sacral slope (SS), pelvic incidence (PI), thoracic kyphosis (TK), lumbar lordosis (LL), cervical lordosis (CL), thoracolumbar kyphosis (TLK), and sagittal vertical axis (SVA) were measured. Patients were divided into balance, compensatory balance, thoracic compensation, and thoracic decompensation groups.
resultsTK (p < 0.001), SVA (p < 0.001), and CL (p = 0.020) were significantly related to high T1S. The balance group had the smallest PT, largest SS and largest LL of the four groups (p < 0.001). The thoracic compensation group had the smallest TK of all groups (p < 0.001). There was no significant difference in T1S between the balance and thoracic compensation groups (p = 0.099). The thoracic decompensation group had a larger T1S than the balance group (p = 0.023).
conclusionsCaudal spine segments had a sequential effect on cranial spine segments. T1S reflected the compensation ability of the spine. The absence of balance tended to increase the T1S. Pelvic posterior rotation and thoracic compensation were two crucial factors protecting against increased T1S in patients with ASD.
