Clinical characteristics and surgical treatment comparison of multisegmental spinal tuberculosis: a retrospective analysis.
Article in Frontiers in medicine, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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: To analyze the therapeutic efficacy of intervertebral surgery in the treatment of multisegmental spinal tuberculosis (MSTB) by evaluating its clinical outcomes and perioperative indicators, thereby providing evidence-based insights to optimize surgical strategies and improve clinical decision-making. Methods: This retrospective cohort study analyzed 134 MSTB patients treated at our hospital between January 2000 and June 2022. Based on the surgical approach, patients were divided into two groups: Group A ( Results: The mean follow-up duration was 63.24 ± 9.16 months for Group A and 64.05 ± 9.74 months for Group B. Group A demonstrated significantly shorter operative time and reduced intraoperative blood loss compared to Group B ( Conclusion: Both intervertebral and non-intervertebral surgical strategies for MSTB can effectively restore spinal alignment and achieve satisfactory neurological recovery, provided that strict surgical indications are adhered to. Intervertebral surgery, with its shorter operative time and lower intraoperative blood loss, may offer additional perioperative advantages and serve as a viable option for MSTB management.
