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

STUDY

designRetrospective Case-Control Study.

backgroundThere have been some previous studies on the risk factors associated with lumbar spondylolisthesis, but there are few studies on the risk factors for disease progression in mild degenerative lumbar spondylolisthesis (DLS). To analyze the risk factors associated with aggravation of spondylolisthesis in patients with grade I degenerative spondylolisthesis and construct a prediction model.

methodsWe conducted a retrospective analysis of 220 patients diagnosed with DLS who were admitted to our hospital between January 2019 and January 2023. Data collected included gender, age, body mass index (BMI), diabetes, hypertension, occupation, and imaging parameters.

resultsA total of 220 patients were included in this study, including 111 males and 109 females; 178 patients with no aggravation of lumbar spondylolisthesis (group A) and 42 patients with aggravation of lumbar spondylolisthesis (group B). Progression of grade I DLS was associated with single factors such as age, BMI, Occupation, vertebral CT value, facet joint angle (FJA), Modic change (MC), Pfirrmann grade of intervertebral disc (PG), Facet joint effusion (FJE), osteophyte formation, and Percentage of the Fat Infiltration (FIA%) of multifidus muscle (MM). BMI, FJA, PG, and FI% of MM had a significant impact on disease progression in lumbar spondylolisthesis.

conclusionBMI, FJA, PG, and FIA% of MM were independent risk factors for the progression of degenerative spondylolisthesis. The risk prediction model was established by including the above four variables and nomograms were drawn. The internal validation proved that the model had good discrimination, calibration, and clinical practicability.
