Redefining the applications of navigation in spine surgery.
Article in Neurosurgical focus: Video, 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
Intraoperative navigation in spine surgery has evolved into an increasingly versatile platform that enhances precision, safety, and operative workflow across a variety of surgical procedures. In the setting of burst fractures, it improves spatial awareness during vertebrectomy, ensuring complete disc removal, accurate endplate preparation, and safe anterior column reconstruction. In sacral and metastatic tumors, navigated osteotomies facilitate precise margin definition and tumor resection. Navigated deployment of interbody and expandable corpectomy cages optimizes positioning and reduces fluoroscopy dependence. Finally, ultrasonography allows for real-time visualization of tools in trauma cases. These instances collectively underscore the multifaceted role of navigation beyond instrumentation alone.
