A comprehensive review of risk factors and prevention strategies: how to minimize mechanical complications in corrective surgery for adult spinal deformity.
Article in Asian spine journal, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 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
Adult spinal deformity (ASD) surgery aims to correct abnormal spinal alignment in both the sagittal and coronal planes to alleviate pain and improve functional activities of daily living. Despite the advancements in surgical techniques that have led to better clinical outcomes, postoperative mechanical complications remain. These complications include instrumentation failure, with proximal junctional kyphosis (PJK), proximal junctional failure (PJF), and rod fractures (RFs) being the most common. Such complications deteriorate clinical outcomes and often require revision surgery, which can be more burdensome for surgeons and patients, than index surgery. Thus, the risk factors for mechanical complications must be identified, and effective preventive strategies established. Therefore, this study aimed to review the risk factors for mechanical complications, focusing on PJK, PJF, and RF, and explore prevention strategies for these complications in ASD surgery, drawing upon recent literature.
