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

Objective: To investigate the feasibility and effectiveness of robot-assisted posterior minimally invasive access in treatment of thoracolumbar tuberculosis via transforaminal expansion approach. Methods: A clinical data of 40 patients with thoracolumbar tuberculosis admitted between January 2017 and May 2022 and met the selection criteria was retrospectively analyzed. Among them, 15 cases were treated with robot-assisted and minimally invasive access via transforaminal expansion approach for lesion removal, bone graft, and internal fixation (robotic group), and 25 cases were treated with traditional transforaminal posterior approach for lesion removal and intervertebral bone grafting (traditional group). There was no significant difference in the baseline data between the two groups ( Results: Compared with the traditional group, the operation time and intraoperative bleeding volume in the robotic group were significantly lower and the serum albumin level at 3 days after operation was significantly higher ( Conclusion: Compared with traditional posterior open operation, the use of robot-assisted minimally invasive access via transforaminal approach for lesion removal and bone grafting internal fixation in the treatment of thoracolumbar tuberculosis can reduce the operation time and intraoperative bleeding, minimizes surgical trauma, and obtain definite effectiveness.
