Utilization of Posterior Column Osteotomies Prior to Optical-Guided Navigation in Instrumented Lumbar Spine Surgery.
Article in Cureus, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Optical topographic imaging (OTI)-guided navigation allows for accurate navigation even after posterior column osteotomies (PCOs), giving spine surgeons the option to place instrumentation after PCOs. Preoperative computed tomography (CT) imaging can be used safely and effectively for optical-guided navigation in cases where PCOs are performed. A middle-aged woman presented with symptomatic adult idiopathic scoliosis (AdIS). After unsuccessful conservative treatment, she underwent spinal deformity correction with posterior instrumented fusion using OTI-guided navigation. During surgery, PCOs were performed at the apical levels before instrumentation placement. After the osteotomies, accurate OTI registration was achieved using the remaining laminar surfaces, and pedicle screws were placed under navigation guidance. The patient made a full recovery, with resolution of her back and radicular pain.
