Surgical treatment of ankylosing spondylitis with Andersson lesion in the thoracic spine: a case report and review of the literature.
Article in Journal of surgical case reports, 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
Andersson lesion (AL) is a complication of ankylosing spondylitis (AS), characterized by non-neoplastic destruction of the intervertebral disc and adjacent vertebral bodies. Typically involving the anterior spinal column, AL may be accompanied by posterior column fracture or unfused facet joints abnormalities. We report a case of a young male patient with a long-standing history of AS complicated by AL and ossification of the posterior longitudinal ligament and ligamentum flavum in thoracic spine at the T9 to T10 level. The patient underwent posterior surgical intervention. At a 4-month post-operative follow-up, significant pain relief and marked improvement in lower limb motor function were observed.
