Posterior Spinal Fixation Using a Patient-Specific 3D-Printed Guide for a Sixth Thoracic Vertebral Fracture With Ankylosis and Severe Bone Sclerosis Due to Spondyloepiphyseal Dysplasia Congenita.
Article in Cureus, 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
Vertebral fractures with ankylosing spinal disorder (ASD) are often painful due to the high level of instability and can lead to false joints and delayed paralysis; therefore, surgery is often required. Fixation using percutaneous pedicle screw (PPS) allows for minimally invasive fixation of the spine and is considered useful for ASD cases, but there is a risk of nerve damage during surgery and implant-related complications. Using a patient-specific 3D-printed guide, we were able to perform posterior spinal fixation without intraoperative complications in a patient with vertebral fractures with ASD, which was considered difficult to fix with PPS due to the person's past surgical experience.
