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: To estimate natural standing sagittal alignment in patients with adult spinal deformity (ASD), we previously reported the normative values of anatomical pelvic parameters in a healthy population, based on the anterior pelvic plane (APP), and observed the relationships between anatomical and positional pelvic parameters in the standing position. As the second step, we aim to investigate the relationships between anatomical pelvic parameters and standing spinal sagittal alignment in a healthy population. Methods: We analyzed biplanar, slot-scanning, full-body stereo radiography of 140 healthy Japanese volunteers (mean age, 39.5 years; 59.3% women). The APP was defined by bilateral anterior superior iliac spines and anterior surface of the pubis symphysis. Anatomical sacral slope (aSS) and anatomical pelvic tilt (aPT) were calculated as angles of the SS and PT regarding the APP. Results: The APP was tilted anteriorly in the sagittal plane by an average of 0.7°. Anatomical pelvic parameters significantly correlated with standing sagittal parameters, except for cervical lordosis and T4-12 thoracic kyphosis (TK) (p<0.05). L4-S1 lumbar lordosis (LL) significantly correlated with aPT and aSS, but not with pelvic incidence (PI). In addition, T1-12 TK significantly correlated with aSS. Multiple linear regression analysis for lumbar alignment produced the following equations: L1-S1 LL (°)=0.588×aSS+30.522, L4-S1 LL (°)=0.165×aSS-0.248×aPT+32.825, lordosis distribution index (%)=-0.662×PI+102.8. Conclusions: Novel relationships in a healthy population were identified between the anatomical characteristics of the pelvis and standing sagittal parameters not represented by PI. This novel measurement concept based on the APP may estimate natural standing sagittal alignments and proportions using anatomical pelvic parameters in ASD.
