Difference between Anterior and Posterior Cord Compression and Its Clinical Implication in Patients with Degenerative Cervical Myelopathy.
Article in Journal of clinical medicine, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
In degenerative cervical myelopathy (DCM), the low anteroposterior compression ratio of the spinal cord is known to be associated with a neurologic deficit. However, there is little detailed analysis of spinal cord compression. Axial magnetic resonance images of 183 DCM patients at normal C2-C3 and maximal cord compression segments were analyzed. The anterior (A), posterior (P), and anteroposterior length and width (W) of the spinal cord were measured. Correlation analyses between radiographic parameters and each section of Japanese Orthopedic Association (JOA) scores and comparisons of the patients divided by A (below or above 0, 1, or 2 mm) were performed. Between C2-C3 and maximal compression segments, the mean differences of A and P were 2.0 (1.2) and 0.2 (0.8) mm. The mean anteroposterior compression ratios were 0.58 (0.13) at C2-C3 and 0.32 (0.17) at maximal compression. The A and A/W ratio were significantly correlated with four sections and the total JOA scores (
