Spino-Pelvic Alignment and Surgical Outcomes in Chinese Elderly With Lumbar Stenosis Syndrome: A Prospective Study.

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
Objective: This study aimed to systematically identify and quantify the acceptable spino-pelvic parameters for Chinese elderly patients with lumbar stenosis syndrome (LSS) following surgical treatment. Method: A prospective study of 165 LSS cases from July 2018 to June 2020 evaluated spino-pelvic alignment using PI, LL, PT, and SVA, categorized by SRS-Schwab classification. Quality of life was assessed via the Oswestry disability index (ODI), and parameter thresholds were determined by AICc and ROC analysis. Results: No significant change in radiological parameters was observed postsurgery. However, clinical outcomes improved with lower grades of PI-LL and PT. The mean threshold for PI-LL and PT at baseline was 18.8° and 26.1°, respectively. At the endpoint, PI-LL was 17.7°, and PT was 26.1°, indicating optimal ranges for surgery. Conclusion: Spino-pelvic alignment significantly correlates with quality of life in elderly LSS patients. The study suggests that PI-LL and PT should be maintained within 17.7° and 26.1°, respectively, for optimal surgical outcomes.
