Rod fracture after multiple-rod technique for adult spinal deformity: a case report.
Article in Nagoya journal of medical science, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Here we report the case of a 71-year-old woman who complained of lower back and left leg pain due to rod fracture following instrumented fusion using the lateral lumbar interbody fusion and multi-rod technique to treat adult spinal deformity. Radiographic images revealed bilateral rod fractures at L4-5 and pseudoarthrosis at L2-5; lower lumbar lordosis was minimal, but upper lumbar hyperlordosis was noted. The patient underwent revision surgery, which included posterior spinal instrument replacement, L3-4 and L4-5 lateral lumbar interbody fusion cage removal, and L4 vertebral body replacement via the anterior approach. This is a rare case of reoperation with the multi-rod technique. Revision surgery should be performed in consideration of the proportion of lumbar lordosis and anterior bony fusion as the posterior component is resected and bony fusion can only be achieved anteriorly.
