Comparison of short-segment and long-segment fixation in treatment of degenerative scoliosis and analysis of factors associated with adjacent spondylolisthesis.
Article in Open medicine (Warsaw, Poland), 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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
The bleeding time and amount in the short-segment group were shorter than in the long-segment group, and the bleeding volume was less than in the long-segment group. The Japanese Orthopaedic Association low back pain score, Oswestry Dysfunction Index, and lumbar spine stiffness disability index score of the two groups were significantly improved preoperatively, postoperatively, and at 6 months, 1 year, and 2 years post-operation. The differences were statistically significant at different time points within the groups. Neurological function improved to varying degrees postoperatively. The Cobb angle was significantly higher in both groups (
