A novel approach to partial reduction of high-grade spondylolisthesis with offset rods - A report of two cases.
Article in Journal of craniovertebral junction & spine. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
High-grade spondylolisthesis (HGS) remains a difficult entity to treat, given the high rate of complications following surgical correction of such a spinal deformity. Reduction of spondylolisthesis may be associated with traction injury to the L5 nerve root due to stretching. We report on two cases of HGS where a novel surgical technique of offset rods was used for partial reduction of spondylolisthesis thereby reducing L5 nerve root traction. Both cases had more than 50% correction of translation with good correction of slip angle and satisfactory clinical outcomes were achieved at the final follow-up. In this study, we report on two cases of HGS treated with offset rod constructs. These rod constructs provide partial reduction, improving slip angle at the listhesis while reducing nerve root stress caused by full reduction and fixation. In comparison to previously described constructs, offset rods provide greater construct modularity and freedom to create constructs better suited to each patient's pathology.
