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
objectivesNumerous studies have reported the manifestations and influencing factors of poor matching of intervertebral fusion devices (IFDs) in patients with cervical and lumbar degenerative diseases. However, there is currently no research addressing the use of IFDs matching in posterior vertebral column resection (PVCR) procedures. The purpose of this retrospective radiographic study was to analyze the risk factors associated with poor matching of IFDs following PVCR.
methodsData from 92 patients using IFDs following PVCR between June 2006 and July 2024 were reviewed. IFDs implantation failure, adjacent vertebral fractures, subsidence greater than 5 mm, angle formation exceeding 10°, and malposition (defined as one-third of the IFDs exceeding the outer edge of the matching interface) were used as screening indicators to divide patients into poor matching and matching groups. Potential risk factors of poor matching were assessed through univariate and multivariate logistic regression analysis. The multiple regression model was evaluated by the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC).
resultsAmong the 92 patients, 37 (40.2%) experienced poor matching. Univariate logistic regression analysis revealed that the preoperative and postoperative sagittal Cobb angles, the angle between osteotomy surfaces, total instrumented vertebrae, the number of vertebrae resected, the height of IFDs, and the use of titanium mesh or artificial vertebral bodies were potential risk factors for poor matching. Backward stepwise multivariate logistic regression analysis indicated that the preoperative sagittal Cobb angle (OR = 1.053, p = 0.001), the angle between osteotomy surfaces (OR = 1.152, p = 0.003), and the height of IFDs (OR = 1.058, p = 0.033) were independent risk factors for poor matching. The overall predictive performance of this multiple regression model (AUC = 0.872) for poor matching was deemed satisfactory.
conclusionThe use of IFDs in PVCR was associated with a high rate of immediate poor matching. The preoperative sagittal Cobb angle, the angle between osteotomy surfaces, and the height of IFDs are independent risk factors for poor matching.
