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

Purpose: Traditional surgical interventions for adjacent segment disease (ASD) repair commonly mandate the exposure of all pre-existing hardware. Cortical bone trajectory (CBT) screws have been innovated to amplify the contact surface between the screw and cortical bone, offering a promising approach to mitigate the challenge sassociated with traditional ASD repair surgeries. Methods: In this study, a tangible manifestation of the cortical bone trajectory screw navigation guide was produced by utilizing a 3D printer to facilitate the insertion of cortical bone trajectory screws. A comprehensive set of radiographic images and computed tomography scans was gathered to evaluate the accuracy of K-wire through CBT screw guide inside the vertebrae which was previously implanted with a pedicle screw. Results: The variance in the K-pin circle centre distance before and after surgery ranges from 0.2 mm to 3.54 mm. The K-pin angle difference falls within the range of 0.4° to 5.8° in the sagittal plane, ranges from 1.46° to 1.7° in the transverse plane. Conclusion: This research process has successfully yielded a navigation guide that holds promise for inserting CBT screw even with previously pedicle screw at the same vertebrae.
