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
purposeTo evaluate the effectiveness and safety of the lateral position posterior surgery ahead of the anterior surgery (LP-A) in a single stage for releasing the cervical spinal cord from short-term severe anterior compression.
methodsThe severe stenosis with dynamic compression defined as Vaccaro`s system degree 3 or 4 with neurological symptoms aggravation when flexion or extension of the cervical spine. Retrospectively analyzed 64 short-level degenerative cervical myelopathy (DCM) patients from severe compression who underwent posterior cervical decompression in the lateral position ahead of supine anterior decompression and fusion at a single stage.
resultsSixty-four patients with DCM from severe compression were enrolled. The mean operation time was 183.06 ± 32.42 min. The postoperative mJOA scores of the patients increased from 7.61 ± 0.94 to 14.03 ± 0.78. The expansion degree of the cervical spinal cross-sectional area and drift-back distance rose from 62.05 ± 14.05 to 164.05 ± 37.62mm2 and from 5.08 ± 1.22 to 12.70 ± 1.26, respectively. The Neck Disability Index was 31.81 ± 3.17 before the operation, 20.14 ± 2.22, 17.69 ± 1.56, 15.64 ± 1.51, and 13.70 ± 1.50 at 1, 3, 6, and 12 months after the operation, respectively. The visual analogue scale (VAS) score of the cervical was 5.64 ± 1.01 before the operation, 2.41 ± 0.64, 2.08 ± 0.48, 1.45 ± 0.50, and 1.06 ± 0.47 at 1, 3, 6, and 12 months after the operation, respectively. The sagittal vertical axis (cSVA) and the Cobb angle were significantly changed after surgery.
conclusionPosterior cervical decompression in the lateral position ahead of anterior decompression and fusion in a single stage is an effective and safe surgical procedure for the treatment of severe short-term cervical cord anterior compression.
