[Robotically assisted and navigated pedicle screw placement at the subaxial cervical spine].
Review in Unfallchirurgie (Heidelberg, Germany), 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. Cited by 3 papers.
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
objective of surgeryThe aim of this surgery is to stabilize an unstable cervical spine injury. INDICATIONS: Type B2 injury according to the AOSpine classification for injuries of the subaxial cervical spine and the associated instability. Guidelines and treatment recommendations for this injury. CONTRAINDICATIONS: Robotically assisted and navigated techniques have no special contraindications. SURGICAL TECHNIQUE: Performed in the 3D navigation hybrid operating theatre "Robotic Suite" consisting of navigation unit "Curve Navigation System", robotic 3D cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) "Loop-X", robotic arm "Cirq Arm System" and wall monitor "BUZZ" (Brainlab, Munich, Germany). The individual surgical steps are explained in the video (English), available on the website under "Supplementary Information" or via the QR code. SURGICAL STEPS: Preoperative: planning CT and screw planning. INTRAOPERATIVE: Carbon table, prone position and Mayfield clamp. Dorsal approach. Attachment of the reference array. 1) CBCT scan. Image fusion. Control of fusion result. Robot arm approach to the drilling trajectory, robotically assisted drilling. Insertion of the K‑wire. Navigated threading and navigated screw placement. 2) CBCT scan, control of the screw positions. Satisfactory screw position, insertion of connecting rods and bone substitute material, sterile wound closure. FOLLOW-UP: No cervical orthosis necessary. Isometric physiotherapy. Adapted pain therapy as needed and according to WHO scheme. X‑ray control after 6 and 12 weeks. No metal removal. EVIDENCE: The video material shown is from a routine clinical operation. Robotically assisted and navigated operations at the subaxial cervical spine are performed with good surgical results and a high accuracy.
