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

Introduction: In this study, we aim to estimate the natural standing sagittal alignment in patients with adult spinal deformity (ASD), firstly by investigating the normative values of anatomical pelvic parameters based on the anterior pelvic plane (APP) in a healthy population, and to clarify the relationships between the anatomical and positional pelvic parameters in standing position. Methods: The images of biplanar slot-scanning full-body stereoradiography in 140 healthy Japanese volunteers (mean age, 39.5 years; 59.3% female) were examined. In addition to three-dimensional measurements including pelvic incidence (PI), sacral slope (SS), and pelvic tilt (PT), the APP angle (APPA; anterior tilting=positive) was measured as the angle between the APP and the vertical line using the two-dimensional lateral image. Anatomical SS and PT (aSS and aPT) were calculated as the angles of SS and PT in reference to APP. Results: The mean (range) values of APPA, aSS, and aPT were determined to be 0.7° (-16.8°/15.5°), 36.8° (18.3°/64.9°), and 13.2° (-0.6°/28.7°), respectively. Moreover, SS was found to be significantly correlated with PI and aSS, while PT was significantly correlated with PI, aSS, aPT, and body weight. Also, PT was significantly larger in females than in males. Multiple linear regression analysis deduced the following equations: SS=0.404×aSS+0.203×PI+12.463, PT=-0.391×aSS+0.774×PI+1.950×sex (male=0, female=1)-12.971, wherein aSS had the greatest effect for predicting SS among the included factors and PI had the greatest effect for predicting PT. In addition, no significant differences were noted between PT/PI and aPT/PI. Conclusions: As per the results of this study, significant correlations were noted among parameters and predicting models for positional parameters (SS and PT) using anatomical parameters (aSS and aPT) in a healthy population. This novel measurement concept based on the APP has been considered to be useful in estimating natural SS and PT in standing position using the anatomical pelvic parameters in patients with ASD.
