Impact of surgical timing on the outcomes of traumatic cervical spinal cord injury.
Article in American journal of translational research, 2025. 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
objectiveTo investigate the association between surgical timing and treatment efficacy in patients with traumatic cervical spinal cord injury.
methodsA total of 78 patients with traumatic cervical spinal cord injury were enrolled in Nantong Haimen People's Hospital from January 2019 to June 2022. Of these, 40 patients who received anterior decompression and fixation surgery with bone graft and steel plate within 2-7 days post-injury were assigned to the control group, while 38 patients who received the treatment within 24 h after injury were assigned to the study group. The recovery outcomes, visual analog score (VAS), anxiety score (Self-Rating Anxiety Scale, SAS), depression score (Self-Rating Depression Scale, SAS), and adverse events were compared between the two groups.
resultsThe study group demonstrated a significantly higher recovery rate compared to the control group (P < 0.05). Additionally, the VAS, SAS, and SDS scores were markedly lower in the study group than those in the control group (all P < 0.05), indicating reduced pain and psychological distress. The incidence of adverse events was also significantly lower in the study group compared to the control group (P < 0.05), underscoring the safety and efficacy of early surgical intervention.
conclusionsEarly surgical intervention not only alleviates physical pain but also effectively reduces psychological stress, thereby promoting overall recovery.
