Risk Factors for Unexpected Admission Following Lumbar Spine Laminectomy: A National Database Study.
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
Introduction Laminectomy is one of the most common orthopedic spine surgeries performed in the United States. Compared to other spine operations such as fusions, laminectomies in isolation are of lower morbidity. However, complications may arise that result in readmission to an inpatient healthcare facility. The purpose of this study is to identify the demographics and risk factors associated with unplanned 30-day readmission following a laminectomy. Methods The American College of Surgeons National Surgical Quality Improvement Program (ACS-NSQIP) database was queried for patients who underwent a laminectomy procedure from 2015 to 2019 using CPT code 63030. This query yielded 61,708 cases. Demographic, lifestyle, comorbidity, and peri-operative factors were recorded. Independent samples Student's
