Contiguous Two-Level Anterior Cervical Discectomy and Fusion Using Zero-P VA System: A Retrospective Study.
Article in Orthopedic research and reviews, 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
Purpose: The aim of this study was to explore short-term radiological findings after contiguous two-level ACDF with Zero-P VA devices. Methods: Patients who underwent contiguous two-level anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF) from C3 to C7 with a Zero-P VA system were followed. Cervical anteroposterior and lateral X-rays and functional outcomes were assessed 3 months after surgery. Results: Overall, 34.9% of patients had prosthesis subsidence and 74.6% screw loosening. Up to 46.8% of the patients with screw loosening also experienced prosthesis subsidence compared with 0 patients without screw loosening ( Conclusion: Screw loosening and prosthesis subsidence happen frequently after contiguous two-level ACDF with Zero-P VA. Screw loosening seems to be the only risk factor for prosthesis subsidence.
