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

introductionIn trauma, we can perform a lateral radiography of the lumbosacral hinge taking the femoral heads if we include it in the initial lesion assessment. Thus, the pelvic incidence informs about the type of back as described by Roussouly.

aimTo describe the clinical and radiological results of these types of back which are operated on for a thoracolumbar fracture.

methodsWe recorded the clinical, radiological data and the characteristics of the fracture of 120 patient operated on for a thoracolumbar spine fracture over a period of 14 years between February 2005 and July 2019. We studied the deformation according to Regional traumatic angulation (ART), Sagittal Farcy Index (SIF), Gardner Segment Kyphotic Deformity (GSKD). Functional evaluation was carried out according to the Denis Pain Scale. Radiological evaluation was based on relative gain and loss.

resultsIn individuals with low pelvic incidence, a prevalence of 72% was observed for type A fracture, whereas types B and C accounted for 45.9% (P<0.05) for backs with high pelvic incidence. The Denis Pain Scale score indicated that 90% of individuals with low incidence backs had scores below 3, whereas only 65.6% of those with high incidences had scores below 3 (P<0.05). The loss of correction for backs with low incidences was measured at 1.2°, while for backs with high incidences, it was 3° (p<0.05).

conclusionFractures on backs with low pelvic incidence considered as stiff backs are more frequently of type A, with better functional results and less losses.
