A Study on Prognostic Risk Factors of Cervical Spondylotic Myelopathy.
Article in Journal of Korean Neurosurgical Society, 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
objectiveTo identify the risk factors that influence the prognosis of patients with cervical spondylotic myelopathy (CSM).
methodsClinical data were collected from 158 CSM patients treated between January 2023 and January 2024 at a tertiary medical center. The data were retrospectively analyzed, with a 1-year follow-up. Based on the Japanese Orthopaedic Association (JOA) score, patients were categorized into good and poor recovery groups. Clinical characteristics, laboratory indices, and imaging findings were compared between the groups, and risk factors affecting CSM prognosis were identified.
resultsIn a multivariable analysis, age, symptom duration, preoperative JOA score, spinal cord compression ratio, regulatory T cell (Treg) cell count, the number of surgical levels and diabetes history were identified as significant predictors of postoperative outcomes. Interestingly, Treg cell counts showed a novel positive correlation with improvement rates (p<0.001), suggesting their potential role in spinal cord recovery after surgery.
conclusionThese findings underscore the prognostic relevance of clinical and immunological factors for predicting surgical outcomes in CSM. The observed association between peripheral Treg counts and recovery rates reveals new insights into the immunological mechanisms underlying CSM prognosis, suggesting potential targets for personalized treatment strategies.
