Rare nontraumatic thoracic spondylolisthesis: a case report and literature review.
Article in Journal of surgical case reports, 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
Nontraumatic thoracic spondylolisthesis is extremely rare due to the thoracic spine's inherent stability. We report the case of a 66-year-old male presenting with chronic low back pain and bilateral lower limb numbness. Imaging revealed anterior displacement of the T10 vertebral body with significant spinal cord compression at T10-T11. The patient underwent posterior spinal decompression, thoracic interbody fusion, and screw fixation, achieving complete neurological recovery at 1-year follow-up. Nontraumatic thoracic spondylolisthesis can result from facet joint laxity and disc degeneration causing vertebral micromovements. Early diagnosis and timely surgical intervention are crucial for preventing neurological damage and restoring function, highlighting the importance of comprehensive thoracic spine evaluation in patients with atypical lumbar symptoms.
