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

Study designProspective observational multicenter cohort study.ObjectivesTo determine Minimal Clinically Important Difference (MCID) of AO Spine PROST (Patient Reported Outcome Spine Trauma) and conducting a long-term prospective validation.MethodsData were collected from a prospective observational international multicenter cohort study. Adults (18-65) with acute thoracolumbar (TL) burst fractures without neurologic deficits were enrolled, and followed for up to 2 years. Patients completed the AO Spine PROST, Oswestry Disability Index (ODI), EQ-5D, and Pain NRS. Characteristics were analyzed using descriptive statistics, MCID for PROST with distribution-based approach using the standard deviation (SD) of change in scores. Floor and ceiling effects were also evaluated. Internal consistency (Cronbach's alpha, item-total correlation coefficient (ITCC) and pairwise Spearman correlation), construct validity (Pearson correlations (r
