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

The number of spinal reconstruction cases is growing, as are the accompanying complications. Wound complications after spinal reconstruction can be fatal and can affect up to 19% of patients undergoing major spine surgery. The discipline of spinoplastic surgery is characterized by the use of vascularized bone grafts to reconstruct spinal defects, which provide better results compared with nonvascularized and allogenic equivalents, owing to their superior blood supply. We present a 49-year-old man with spinal defect in the C3-C7 region treated with spinoplastic reconstruction. A 5 × 6 cm occipital VBG was designed with a centrally located muscular pedicle and successfully inset into the osseous defect. Radiographs taken 15 months postoperatively demonstrated overall excellent bony fusion, and the patient made an appropriate clinical recovery. In difficult spine procedures, the use of this occipital vascularized bone graft may lead to higher fusion rates without the need for free tissue transfer or allograft placement, which may not be available at all surgical centers around the world.
