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

Study Design: Retrospective cohort study. Objectives: Given its high and increasing prevalence in the United States, rheumatoid arthritis (RA) has been a growing area of focus for spine surgeons. The literature regarding the long-term outcomes of RA patients undergoing adult spinal deformity (ASD) surgery is limited. Thus, the purpose of this study was to compare the postoperative complications and revisions through 2 years postoperatively between patients with and without RA undergoing ASD surgery. Methods: A retrospective analysis of the New York Statewide Planning and Research Cooperative System database was performed. Patients undergoing spinal fusion for ASD were selected for and divided into two cohorts based on RA status. Univariate analysis compared demographics, complications, length of stay, and revisions between cohorts. Multivariate logistic regression models, adjusted for age, gender, number of levels fused, and Deyo score. Results: A total of 6020 patients were identified, of which 238 (3.9%) patients had RA. Patients with RA had a higher rate of total complications (61.3% RA+ vs. 44.0% RA-, Conclusion: This study found RA to be an independent risk factor for increased complications and subsequent revision surgery after fusion surgery for ASD. Surgeons can use this data when counselling patients with RA regarding their operative risk.
