1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

purposeTo investigate the potential risk factors influencing the pedicle screw placement deviation of robot-assisted minimally invasive transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion (MIS-TLIF).

methodsClinical data of 65 patients treated with robot-assisted MIS-TLIF from July 2020 to April 2023 in the Department of Orthopedics of Beijing Tongren Hospital were included. The research data were collected from the medical record system and the imaging system of the hospital. The potential risk factors of both patient characteristics and surgical factors for poor placement of robot-assisted pedicle screws were examined by single factor analysis. For variables statistically significant in the univariate test, logistic regression analysis was further used to identify the independent risk factors for the poor pedicle screw placement.

resultsThe total 65 cases treated with the robot-assisted surgeries included 37 males and 28 females, aged 58.85 ± 13.41 years (range, 26-81 years), and with a BMI of 25.63 ± 3.46 kg/m

conclusionsThe decompression is found to be an independent risk factor influencing the screw placement deviation during the robot-assisted MIS-TLIF surgeries. And special attention should be paid to the guide needle and screw orientation during the screw placement after decompression.
