A proposed nomenclature for spinal imaging and interventional procedural reporting.
Article in Interventional pain medicine, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. 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
Objective: To develop precise universal standard interventional spine nomenclature for reporting procedural details and anatomy. Methods: There is no comprehensive nomenclature of spinal imaging anatomy that can be used for anatomical and procedural reporting. Given this critical lack of unifying terminology, a system of nomenclature was developed de novo by expert consensus, based upon clinical needs, and previously published reports. Results: Nomenclature for anatomical and spine procedural reporting for interlaminar and transforaminal approaches was developed using zones in each view. Separate nomenclature for medial branch procedural reporting and discs and vertebral body location and procedural reporting is also presented. Conclusion: There is a need for a unified anatomical location reporting system in interventional spine. The first step is the development of a precise, simple, and intuitive nomenclature, as reported here. The second is ratification followed by dissemination and adoption in clinical practice.
