Forgotten Spine Surgery Score Cervical (FS3-C): A Patient-Reported Outcome Measure for Assessing the Impact of Motion Preservation in Cervical Spine Surgery.
Article in Global spine journal, 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
Study Design/SettingProspective cohort study.ObjectivesTo test whether the novel Forgotten Spine Surgery Score-Cervical (FS3-C) better differentiates outcomes between motion-preserving cervical disc replacement (CDR) and fusion via anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF) compared with the NDI.MethodsThe FS3-C was derived from a 20-item pool and reduced to 12 items after pilot testing in 41 CDR patients. Validation cohorts included 127 CDR and 112 ACDF patients who completed FS3-C and NDI. Internal consistency, ceiling/floor effects, and convergent validity were assessed. Group comparisons used appropriate parametric and nonparametric tests. Multivariable linear regression adjusting for age, Charlson Comorbidity Index, sex, and number of operated levels, as well as propensity score matching, were performed to address baseline differences.ResultsA total of 239 patients were included. Cronbach α was 0.95 (FS3-C) and 0.88 (NDI). FS3-C correlated inversely with NDI (r = -0.606,
