Clinical and Economic Impact of Proximal Junctional Kyphosis on Pediatric and Adult Spinal Deformity Patients.
Article in International journal of spine surgery, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
The common goal of pediatric and adult spinal reconstructive procedures is to minimize long-term risk of disability, pain, and mortality. A common complication that has proved particularly problematic in the adult spinal deformity population and that has been an area of increased research and clinical focus is proximal junctional kyphosis (PJK). The incidence of PJK ranges from 10%-40% based on criteria used to define the condition. Clinically, PJK complication is associated with increased pain, decreased self-image and Scoliosis Research Society scores, and severe neurological injuries affecting the patient's quality of life. Economically, direct costs of PJK complication-associated revision surgery ranges from $20,000 to $120,000, which places an enormous burden on patients, providers, and payers. To mitigate the risk of PJK occurrence postoperatively, it is paramount to develop consistent guidelines in defining and classifying PJK in addition to extensive preoperative planning and risk stratification that is patient specific. This article will provide an overview on the clinical and economic impact of PJK in pediatric and adult spine deformity patients with an emphasis on the role of patient factors and predictive analytics, challenges in developing a consistent PJK classification, and current treatment and prevention strategies.
