Comparative analysis of percutaneous and open approaches to traumatic spine injury: Analysis of the National Trauma Data Bank.
Article in Surgical neurology international, 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
Background: Minimally invasive spine surgery (MISS) has become increasingly common, but there are barriers to its adoption in acute trauma. To investigate these barriers, clinical data on preoperative factors and outcomes were compared between patients undergoing percutaneous and open spinal trauma procedures. Methods: In this retrospective cohort study of the National Trauma Data Bank, we analyzed trauma patients nationwide who underwent spine procedures from 2017 to 2023. Using International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision codes, index procedures classified as "open", "percutaneous/MISS", or "converted." Comorbidities, demographic data, and adverse events were analyzed and compared between groups. Results: Of the 187,382 patients included, 13.2% underwent MISS. Open surgery correlated with males, older patients, and major comorbidities, including diabetes mellitus, congestive heart failure, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. MISS correlated with smoking and greater injury severity. Except for surgical site infections, all adverse events were more prevalent following open procedures. Conclusion: From 2017 to 2023, traumatic spinal surgery increased significantly, and the percentage approached percutaneously procedures increased from 11.7% to 15.2%, while adverse events were more common after open surgery.
