[Robotically assisted and minimally invasive pedicle screw placement at the lumbar spine].
Article in Unfallchirurgie (Heidelberg, Germany), 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
objectives of the surgeryThe aim of this operation technique is to bridge the pathological fracture of a vertebral body by a dorsal spondylodesis, to stabilize the spine, reduce the pain and regain mobility. INDICATIONS: Due to the vertebral body fracture (OF 2) of the third lumbar vertebral body (L3) and the associated pain and immobility and due to the modified score of the AO Spine-DGOU osteoporotic fracture (OF) classification system. CONTRAINDICATIONS: No specific contraindications. SURGICAL TECHNIQUE: Technical set-up: Robotic Suite (Brainlab, Munich, Germany) with navigation unit "curve navigation system", robotic 3D cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) "Loop-X", robotic arm "Cirq Arm System" and wall-mounted monitor "BUZZ". Operation steps are shown in the video (English): Planning of the screws based on preoperative CT imaging. Placement of the reference array. First imaging, image fusion and fusion control. Registration of instruments. Robotically assisted skin incision planning. Robotically assisted drilling. K-wire insertion. Second imaging and wire position check. Screw placement. Cement augmentation of the screws. Insertion of the connecting rods. Wound closure. FOLLOW-UP: Full weight bearing, pain medication if required. Physiotherapeutic treatment to learn strengthening exercises and restoration of mobility. Medication with vitamin D3 and calcium. Metal removal is not intended. EVIDENCE: Operations on the lumbar spine are now routine clinical practice in orthopedics and trauma surgery. They can be performed without any problems and with very good accuracy in terms of precise screw placement.
