High incidence of dural tears with 3-column osteotomies: a systematic review of adult spinal deformity surgery literature for the past decade.
Synthesis in Spine deformity, 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
purposeDural tear (DT) is a well-known complication of spinal surgery. We aimed to systematically review the literature from the past decade and determine the incidence and risk factors for DT in the adult spinal deformity (ASD) population to improve both the surgical strategy and counseling of patients undergoing ASD correction.
methodsA systematic review from 2013 to 2023 utilizing PRISMA guidelines was performed. The MEDLINE database was used to collect primary English language articles. The inclusion criterion for patients was degenerative ASD. Pediatric studies, animal studies, review articles, case reports, studies investigating minimally invasive surgery (MIS), studies lacking data on DT incidence, and articles pertaining to infectious, metastatic or neoplastic, traumatic, or posttraumatic etiologies of ASD were excluded.
resultsOur results demonstrate that the incidence of DT in ASD surgery ranges from 2.0% to 35.7%, which is a much broader range than the reported incidence for non deformity surgery. Moreover, the average rate of DT during ASD surgery stratified by surgical technique was greater for osteotomy overall (19.5% +/- 7.9%), especially for 3-column osteotomy (3CO), and lower for interbody fusion (14.3% +/- 9.9%). Risk factors for DT in the ASD surgery cohort included older age, revision surgery, chronic severe compression, higher-grade osteotomy, complexity of surgery, rheumatoid arthritis (RA), and higher Anesthesiology Society of America (ASA) grade.
conclusionTo our knowledge, this is the first systematic review discussing the incidence of and risk factors for DT in the ASD population. We found that the risk factors for DT in ASD patients were older age, revision surgery, chronic severe compression, a greater degree of osteotomy, complexity of surgery, RA, and a higher ASA grade. These findings will help guide spine surgeons in patient counseling as well as surgical planning.
