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

Background: The supplemental harvesting of Methods: This study included 78 patients who underwent single-level ACDF. Prior to the surgical procedure, a 3D simulated surgery was performed by constructing several cutting planes in the cervical vertebrae based on Mimics software. The volumes of the harvested Results: The average volume of the cage's bone graft groove was 373.1±74.4 mm Conclusions: Preoperative planning for ACDF using Mimics software was shown to be both feasible and accurate. The 3D simulated surgery revealed that the majority of patients could supply a sufficient volume of cervical autologous bone for intraoperative grafting. The comprehensive analysis of the
