Anterior cervical discectomy and fusion in treating acute myelopathy caused by
Article in Annals of medicine, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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 AND
objectivesCervical disease caused by
methodsThis retrospective case series included 6 patients who underwent surgical treatment for acute cervical spinal cord impairment due to
resultsSix patients (4 males, 2 females) underwent successful ACDF. The median age was 52.5 years. The median surgery duration was 130.0 min, and the median hospital stay was 13.5 days. The median follow-up period was 15.0 months, and the median duration of postoperative medication was 16.0 weeks. All patients achieved satisfactory bone graft fusion, with a median fusion time of 4.0 months. ASIA classifications improved in all patients. Three patients improved from grade C to grade E, two from grade B to grades D and E, and one from grade C to grade D. The median VAS score decreased from 6.0 preoperatively to 0.0 at follow-up. The median JOA score increased from 6.0 to 17.0, and the NDI score improved from 29.5 to 4.5. No recurrence of infection or neurological symptoms was observed during follow-up.
