1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

backgroundIdentifying the cause of recurrent or persisting pain after posterior lumbar interbody fusion (PLIF) is essential for establishing optimal treatment. In this study, we evaluate patients after PLIF surgery by

methodsA total of 36 PLIF patients were included. Sixty minutes after intravenous injection of

resultsIn contrast to asymptomatic patients, symptomatic patients showed abnormal PET values around pedicle screws and/or facet joints and at the lower endplates of the disc spaces, identifying a possible source of pain. On CT, no significant differences between these two groups were found.

conclusionThe PET/CT findings appeared to correlate better with symptoms on PROMs compared to CT findings alone. When interpreting
