Diagnosis and Management of Traumatic Spondyloptosis: A Series of 30 Cases.
Article in Cureus, 2026. 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
introductionTraumatic spondylolisthesis is a severe injury involving 100% displacement of one vertebral body over another in the coronal or sagittal plane, caused by the complete disruption of spinal stabilizing elements due to high-energy trauma. This injury often compromises vital organ structures, requiring prompt management to reduce morbidity and mortality. MATERIALS AND
methodsA case series was conducted at the Spine Clinic "Dr. Manuel Dufoo Olvera" IMSS Bienestar from February 1, 2015, to June 29, 2025. Data included sex, age, injury mechanism, vertebral segment, associated injuries, neurological deficits, hospital stay, and treatment.
results30 cases (100%) were reported: 23 men (76.67%) and 7 women (23.33%), with ages ranging from 18 to 67 years (mean: 35). Injury mechanisms were falls from height (21 cases, 70.97%) and motor vehicle accidents (9 cases, 29.03%). Affected segments: cervical spine, 4 cases (13.33%), cervicothoracic junction, 3 cases (10%), thoracic spine, 16 cases (53.33%), thoracolumbar junction, 4 cases (13.33%), and lumbar spine, 3 cases (10%). Neurological deficits: ASIA A 20 cases (66.67%), ASIA B 2 cases (6.67%), ASIA C 1 case (3.33%), and ASIA D 7 cases (23.33%). Associated injuries: thoracic trauma 16 cases (52.17%), head trauma 8 cases (30.43%), extremity trauma 3 cases (8.70%), and abdominal trauma 3 cases (8.70%). Hospital stay ranged from 7 to 105 days (mean: 37.89). A total of 27 cases (89.25%) survived, while 3 cases (10.75%) died. DISCUSSION: Findings align with other reports regarding male predominance, injury mechanisms, and neurological deficits. Key differences included the affected age group and the lack of prior documentation on hospital stay duration.
conclusionTraumatic spondyloptosis is a devastating injury requiring comprehensive evaluation and strict multidisciplinary management to reduce morbidity, mortality, and hospital stay and facilitate social reintegration.
