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

introductionLumbosacral transitional vertebra (LSTV) is the most common congenital anomaly of the lumbosacral junction and is a frequent cause of back pain in young patients with a prevalence of 4.6% to 36% in different regions.

objectiveThe objective of this study was to evaluate spinopelvic parameters in patients with lumbosacral transitional vertebra and to compare them with the same parameters of low back ache patients without lumbosacral transitional vertebra.

methodsThis was a cross-sectional and comparative study conducted among low back ache patients presenting to our tertiary care center. Low back ache patients presenting to the outpatient department of AIIMS Jodhpur were screened for LSTV using radiographs. The spinopelvic parameters of those with LSTV were measured using Surgimap software and compared with the parameters of low back ache patients without LSTV. An Independent sample t-test was done and

resultsThe spinopelvic parameters, pelvic incidence, pelvic tilt and lumbar lordosis differed significantly in the patients with LSTV. Pelvic incidence was higher in the group with LSTV (58.5+9.3) when compared to the group without LSTV (50+8.8) with a

conclusionLSTV alters the spinopelvic parameters. Altered spinopelvic parameters predispose to spondylolisthesis, degenerative disc disease, and facet joint arthritis and are important in preoperative planning in spine and pelvic surgeries.
