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

BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to investigate the safety and early clinical results of stand-alone oblique lateral interbody fusion (OLIF) in the fusion of lumbar spine lesions and to explore the indications for surgery. MATERIAL AND METHODS A total of 92 cases of lumbar spine lesions treated with stand-alone OLIF in 2 medical centers from October 2014 to December 2018 were retrospectively analyzed. We included 30 males and 62 females, ages 32-83 years. RESULTS Our results showed that the operation time was 60.92±27.40 min (average 36.6 min) and the intraoperative blood loss was 68.22±141.6 ml (average 23.8 ml). The height of the intervertebral space was restored - before the operation (9.23±1.94 mm) and (12.68±2.01 mm) after the operation - and it was 10.18±2.14 mm at the last follow-up. There was a significant difference between the postoperative and preoperative values (t=9.27, P<0.0001), and there was also a significant difference between the final follow-up and postoperative comparison value (t=8.43, P<0.0001). CONCLUSIONS The use of stand-alone OLIF in treating fusion of lumbar spine lesions showed excellent clinical efficacy and achieved the expected clinical improvements.
