Unique hybrid vertebral shortening technique to treat acute traumatic thoracic spondyloptosis.
Article in Surgical neurology international, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Background: Vertebral shortening is an emerging treatment for traumatic vertebral dislocations, traditionally performed through open posterior or combined approaches. This case introduces a novel technique integrating vertebral shortening with minimally invasive surgery (MIS) in the acute setting. Case Description: A 51-year-old male sustained a T8-T9-T10 dislocation and complete spinal cord injury (SCI) American Spinal Injury Association (ASIA) Impairment Scale, following a motor vehicle accident. Surgery was delayed 48 h for hemodynamic stabilization, and then, a hybrid approach was performed: percutaneous fixation (T6-T12), mini-open T9 vertebrectomy, and T8-T10 compression. He had no postoperative neurological recovery, no perioperative complications, and imaging confirmed correct spinal alignment fixation and fusion. Conclusion: MIS for spinal shortening and fixation in severe dislocations achieved the same goals as traditional open surgery while reducing perioperative complications.
