Minimally Invasive Thoracic-Lumbar Stabilization Surgery for Infected Charcot Spine Arthropathy (ICSA) After Spinal Cord Injury.
Article in Cureus, 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
Charcot spinal arthropathy (CSA) is a very rare condition that causes destruction and deformity of the spine due to impaired sensation. We report a case of an infected Charcot spine arthropathy (ICSA) treatment with spinal reconstruction surgery using a minimally invasive surgery (MIS) technique. A 49-year-old man who had a spinal cord injury (SCI) at age 19 presented with a destructive lesion in the L2/3 and a fistula in his lower back. Spinal reconstruction surgery using a penetrating endplate screw, lateral lumbar interbody fusion (LLIF), and a computer-assisted rod bending system were performed. A CT scan taken six months after surgery showed bony fusion. Reconstruction of the destructive spine is necessary to control the infection and symptoms due to kyphotic deformity for ICSA. Although the treatment of ICSA generally requires a highly invasive approach, we have achieved good clinical results with minimally invasive reconstructive surgery.
