Novel mathematical model for preoperatively predicting pelvic tilt in patients with thoracolumbar kyphosis due to ankylosing spondylitis after three-column osteotomy.
Article in Archives of orthopaedic and trauma surgery, 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
objectivesThis study aimed to introduce a novel mathematical model for preoperative precalculated pelvic tilt (PT) in patients with thoracolumbar kyphosis due to ankylosing spondylitis (AS) after three-column osteotomy.
methodsA total of 20 patients with AS, including 19 men and one woman, who underwent three-column osteotomy from April 2017 to April 2021, in the study hospital were retrospectively reviewed. Spinopelvic parameters, including global kyphosis, pelvic incidence, sacral slope, PT, sagittal vertical axis, horizontal distance between hip axis and hilus pulmonis (HDHH), measured on preoperative, postoperative, and final follow-up radiographs were analyzed. A coordinate diagram was created on the lateral spine radiographs with the hip axis as the origin. The distances and angles between the osteotomy apex, hilus pulmonis, and hip axis were measured, and a mathematical model was established using basic vector functions. The planned osteotomy angle was substituted into the mathematical model to obtain precalculated postoperative PT. Paired sample t-test was performed to determine the differences between planned osteotomy angle and actual osteotomy angle and between predictive postoperative PT and actual postoperative PT.
resultsSeven patients underwent single-level osteotomy, and 13 patients underwent two-level osteotomy. No significant difference was observed between the planned osteotomy angle and the actual osteotomy angle. No statistically significant difference was found between the precalculated postoperative PT and the actual postoperative PT.
conclusionsThe novel mathematical model was reliable in predicting postoperative PT in patients with AS undergoing three-column osteotomy.
