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

Rod alignment in minimally invasive spine (MIS) pelvic fixation using a traditional S2-alar iliac (S2-AI) starting point can be challenging, often requiring substantial rod contouring because of the medial to lateral angulation of the S2-AI tulip relative to the S1 screw. The authors describe a modified pelvic fixation strategy to optimize alignment between the pelvic screw and S1 screw through a more lateral entry point, near the sacroiliac joint. This adjustment facilitates smoother rod passage and easier set screw seating. Intraoperative navigation is critical in safely identifying the starting point and planning the construct alignment.
