Cervical sagittal parameters in degenerative cervical spondylolisthesis versus degenerative cervical kyphosis with myeloradiculopathy treated by anterior cervical discectomy and fusion.
Article in Journal of spine surgery (Hong Kong), 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Background: Adult spinal deformity, especially sagittal imbalance, is affecting health-related quality-of-life (HRQOL) scores. There is a lack of emphasis in the comparison of cervical sagittal parameters in patients with degenerative cervical spondylolisthesis and degenerative cervical kyphosis. The aim of study is to determine the preoperative and postoperative cervical sagittal parameters in myeloradiculopathic patients with degenerative cervical spondylolisthesis and degenerative cervical kyphosis treated by anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF). Methods: A retrospective medical records and radiographic study of 30 adult patients were reviewed. Fifteen patients with degenerative cervical spondylolisthesis and 15 patients with degenerative cervical kyphosis have been performed ACDF from 2010-2020. We measured the preoperative and postoperative cervical sagittal parameters: C0-C2 angle, C1-C2 angle, C2-C7 angle, C2-C7 sagittal vertical axis (SVA), T1 slope, neck tilt angle and thoracic inlet angle. Minimum follow-up period was at least 2 years. Results: Patients in degenerative cervical kyphosis group have C2-C7 angle less than degenerative cervical spondylolisthesis group (-14.88±7.32 Conclusions: The study demonstrates the difference of sagittal parameters between degenerative cervical spondylolisthesis and kyphosis before and after surgery. ACDF not only provides neural decompressive procedure, but also corrects the regional cervical sagittal parameters.
