Different Center of Rotation Trajectories after Cervical Hybrid Surgery: A Minimum 7-Year Retrospective Comparison of Bryan and Mobi-C Prostheses.
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 DesignRetrospective Study.ObjectivesTo compare long-term adjacent-segment kinematic changes and radiographic adjacent segment degeneration (rASD) after two-level cervical hybrid surgery using Bryan or Mobi-C prostheses.MethodsWe retrospectively reviewed 78 patients who underwent contiguous two-level anterior cervical hybrid surgery between 2010 and 2018, including 38 treated with Bryan and 40 with Mobi-C prostheses. All patients had more than 7 years of follow-up. Flexion-extension center of rotation (FE-COR) trajectories at the superior adjacent segment were measured on dynamic radiographs. Long-term rASD was evaluated using the Walraevens score.ResultsClinical outcomes improved significantly in both groups (P < 0.001), with no significant between-group differences. Segmental range of motion remained stable and comparable between groups (P > 0.05). However, FE-COR trajectories differed. At 1 year, the Mobi-C group showed anterior-inferior FE-COR displacement, with FE-COR_Y decreasing to 44.92% ± 12.55%, whereas the Bryan group maintained a relatively stable FE-COR_Y of 59.01% ± 10.66% (P < 0.001). At final follow-up, rASD occurred in 12.5% of Mobi-C patients and 23.7% of Bryan patients, although this difference was not statistically significant (P = 0.198).ConclusionConventional ROM measurements alone cannot fully capture segmental biomechanics. Early anterior-inferior FE-COR displacement in the Mobi-C group was observed and was associated with a numerically lower, but statistically non-significant, rASD rate. These findings suggest that FE-COR may be a sensitive radiographic parameter for describing postoperative micro-kinematic patterns, but its causal relationship with long-term adjacent segment degeneration requires further biomechanical and MRI-based validation.
