1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

purposeTo determine the differences in radiographic and health-related quality of life outcomes of patients who were either younger or older than 65 years of age and underwent a revision adult spinal deformity surgery.

methodsThis is a single center study that retrospectively evaluated the functional scores and radiographic parameters in patients who underwent a revision adult spinal deformity surgery between January 2015 and June 2020. Radiographic measurements and HRQOLs were measured pre-operatively, post-operatively and at final follow up. A total of 103 patients met inclusion criteria. These were divided into 2 groups, under 65 years (n = 60 patients), and over 65 years of age (n = 43 patients).

resultsAnalysis of the radiographic parameters at the various time points demonstrated statistically significant differences between preoperative and early postoperative parameters, except for thoracic kyphosis TK(p = 0.018). In both group, there was statistically significant improvement in PI-LL difference and LL. Comparison of the early postoperative follow-up data and last follow-up data showed statistically significant difference for PT (p = 0.013), TK (p = 0.012) and SVA (p = 0.015). When analyzing HRQOLs at the various time points, there was a statistically significant improvement in both groups between preoperative and final follow up scores and there was no significant difference between two groups. Complications in patients over 65 years of age occurred in 10/43(23%). In the under 65 group, complications occurred in 16/60 (27%).

conclusionThis study demonstrated similar improvement in radiographic parameters and functional outcome scores in patients undergoing revision ASD surgery stratified according to age.
