Laminectomy vs. laminoplasty for treating multi-segment cervical canal stenosis combined with central cord syndrome in the absence of fracture or dislocation: a retrospective study.
Article in Frontiers in surgery, 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
Background: Laminectomy fusion fixation (LF) and single open-door laminoplasty (LP) are common posterior surgeries for central cord syndrome without fracture/dislocation (CCSWOFD), yet a comprehensive comparison is lacking. This study compared outcomes of LF vs. LP for multi-segmental cervical canal stenosis with CCSWOFD. Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on 112 patients (LF group, Results: The LF group demonstrated significantly better final Japanese Orthopaedic Association (JOA) scores, recovery rates (RR), intrinsic hand muscle strength (IHMS), and Brain and Spinal Injury Center (BASIC) scores compared to the LP group ( Conclusion: Both LF and LP effectively improved neurological function, alleviated pain, enhanced motor ability, and reduced spinal cord edema in CCSWOFD patients with multi-segment stenosis. In this retrospective cohort, laminectomy fusion fixation was associated with superior neurological and radiological outcomes compared to laminoplasty for multi-segment CCSWOFD, particularly for patients with coexisting ossification of the posterior longitudinal ligament and K-line (-).
