The Decline of Lumbar Artificial Disc Replacement.
Article in Journal of spine research and surgery, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 14 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
Lower back pain associated with degenerative disc disease is a common occurrence, with many surgical treatments targeting the degenerated disc to relieve symptoms. Current surgical options for degenerative disc disease primarily consist of a discectomy followed by either spinal fusion or artificial disc replacement, with the former being increasingly more common in the lumbar region despite the risk of adjacent segment disease. Though artificial disc replacement aims to provide an increase in range of motion and decreases risk of adjacent segment disease, surgeons are increasingly opting for spinal fusion in the lumbar region. This review investigates underlying factors that may be contributing to this trend by assessing lumbar artificial disc replacement selection criteria, clinical outcomes, surgical technique, complications, revision burden, and overall cost. While these factors had some role in the physician's decision, ultimately the narrow selection criteria and lack of cost reimbursement by insurance has primarily led to the decline in lumbar artificial disc replacement.
