Patient-specific implants and spinal alignment outcomes.
Article in North American Spine Society journal, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. 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
Background: Patient specific (PS) technology has become popular in the field of spine surgery, as it gives surgeons control over the manufacturing of implants based on a patient's anatomy. Patient specific surgical guides, preoperative planning software, and patient specific implants - such as rods and cages, have demonstrated promising results in the literature for helping surgeons achieve spinal alignment goals. Methods: A review of the literature regarding PS technology in spine surgery for the correction of spinal deformity was performed and is compiled here. Results: A description of the PS tools currently used for deformity correction and treatment of degenerative spine pathology with example cases are included in this manuscript. Conclusions: The use of PS technology in spine surgery is an important development in the field that should continue to be studied.
