Intraoperative-CT-navigated percutaneous posterior positioning of pedicle screws in the cervical spine.

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
Introduction: This study was conducted to evaluate reliability and precision of a novel intraoperative computed tomography(iCT)-based navigated procedure to minimally invasive positioning of cervical pedicle screws. Methods: Ten cases were included. Pedicle screws were positioned percutaneously with iCT-based navigation between C3-C7 (Airo mobile CT scanner, Brainlab, Munich, Germany). In the control CT scan screws were assessed regarding affection of the pedicle cortices and neuroforamina. Image quality was evaluated with a subjective Likert-Scale (0-5) and a semi-objective Assessability score (0-4). Results: 40 screws were placed. Average subjective image quality was 3.57 ± 1.0, average assessability score was 3.59 ± 0.73.23 screws (58 %) were positioned centered in the pedicle. 4 screws perforated the medial wall by more than 2 mm [2.7-2.9]. 9 screws were positioned laterally by more than 2 mm [2.5-4.9]. No postoperative neurological deficits were observed. Conclusion: Even in shallow anatomic structures, iCT-navigated visualization of instruments and implants allows for minimally invasive surgery.
