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
purposeWe have developed and reported on the usefulness of single and double endplates penetrating screw trajectories (SEPST/DEPST), which penetrate the endplates of the vertebrae to increase the fixation strength in patients with diffuse idiopathic skeletal hyperostosis (DISH). The purpose of this study is to compare the peak insertion torque (PIT) and pullout force (POF) of traditional trajectory (TT) and SEPST/DEPST using cadaveric spine.
methodsThe eighth thoracic vertebra to the fifth lumbar vertebra from six formalin-fixed adult human cadavers (two males, four females; age at death 85.7 ± 8.8 years) were used and PIT and POF were evaluated in the following three studies. Firstly, a comparison among TT/SEPST/DEPST. Secondly, a comparison of reinsertion of screws with DEPST (re-DEPST) in vertebrae inserted with TT and removed, assuming reoperation. Lastly, a comparison between the endplate thread screw (ETS) which has a smaller pitch and the conventional cancellous thread screw (CTS) was made.
resultsSEPST/DEPST had a 32-70% higher PIT and a 45-82% higher POF than TT, and DEPST was about 1.4 times higher than SEPST. Assuming reoperation, the results show that fixation with re-DEPST provided almost the same fixation strength as initial TT insertion. ETS, which was considered useful for DEPS, showed a relatively higher fixation strength than CTS, however, the difference was not significant.
conclusionThe present study using cadaver demonstrated the strong fixation of SEPST/DEPST and its usefulness for revision surgery, however, there were no significant differences in the mechanical properties between ETS and CTS.
