The Italian Spine Trauma Registry: design and rationale of a prospective nationwide multicenter study on surgically treated spinal trauma.
Observational study in Spinal cord, 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
designProspective, nationwide, multicenter observational cohort registry with first-year implementation data.
objectivesTo describe the design and rationale of the Italian Spine Trauma Registry (TVMit) and assess the feasibility of standardized nationwide recruitment and longitudinal data collection in surgically treated spinal trauma.
settingForty-eight neurosurgical centers across Italy.
methodsAdults aged ≥ 16 years undergoing surgery for traumatic spinal column and/or spinal cord injury are prospectively enrolled from 2025 to 2034. Standardized data include demographics, injury characteristics, neurological status, surgical timing and technique, perioperative management, complications, rehabilitation, and Patient-Reported Outcome Spine Trauma (PROST), with follow-up at 3, 12, and 24 months.
resultsDuring the first year, 673 participants were enrolled. Lumbar injuries were most frequent (46.2%), followed by thoracic (30.6%), subaxial cervical (15.0%), and upper cervical injuries (8.0%). Surgery within 48 h was more frequent for subaxial cervical injuries (46.5%), and posterior approaches predominated at upper cervical, thoracic, and lumbar levels.
conclusionsTVMit has established a feasible national prospective platform for standardized real-world data collection in surgically managed spinal trauma. Longitudinal neurological and patient-reported outcomes will support benchmarking, comparative effectiveness research, and future predictive modeling.
