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

Objective: To compare the effectiveness of endoscopic anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (Endo-ACDF) and microscope-assisted ACDF (Micro-ACDF) in the treatment of single-level cervical spondylotic myelopathy (CSM). Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical data of 44 patients with single-level CSM who underwent ACDF between February 2022 and January 2024 and met the selection criteria. These patients were divided into Endo-ACDF group (22 cases) and Micro-ACDF group (22 cases). There was no significant difference ( Results: All operations in both groups were successfully completed. Compared to the Micro-ACDF group, the Endo-ACDF group had significantly longer operation time and significantly lower total blood loss and hidden blood loss ( Conclusion: Both Endo-ACDF and Micro-ACDF provide satisfactory effectiveness in treating single-level CSM, with no significant difference in the PSTS degree. Furthermore, Endo-ACDF is associated with less hidden blood loss.
