Impact of factors on treatment outcomes in cervical degenerative disc disease: a logistic regression analysis of anterior decompression and interbody fusion with BAK/C technique.
Article in Frontiers in surgery, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Objectives: To identify predictive prognostic factors through logistic regression analysis in patients with cervical degenerative disc disease (CDDD) undergoing anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF) combined with the Bagby and Kuslich (BAK/C) interbody fusion technique. Methods: This retrospective study included 80 patients treated with ACDF and BAK/C between January and December 2020, with a 3-year follow-up. Patients were stratified into a control group (favorable recovery, Results: The control group exhibited significant JOA score improvement at the final follow-up (14.49 ± 0.25 vs. preoperative 10.74 ± 1.16, Conclusion: Advanced age, low bone density, and postoperative complications critically compromise outcomes of ACDF with BAK/C fusion. Preoperative bone density optimization, judicious use of augmented multi-level fixation, and precision patient selection are pivotal for improving prognosis. These findings provide evidence-based insights for individualized clinical decision-making.
