Clinical and radiological results of percutaneous facet cage stabilization and indirect decompression in cervical spondylosis.
Article in Journal of craniovertebral junction & spine. 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
Objective: To evaluate the clinical and radiological outcomes of percutaneous cervical facet cage stabilization and indirect decompression in patients with cervical spondylotic radiculopathy and myelopathy. Materials and Methods: This retrospective study included 25 patients who underwent bilateral percutaneous cervical facet cage placement between 2022 and 2024. Patients with Kang Grade 1-2 cervical stenosis who underwent indirect decompression without additional decompressive surgery and had at least 1 year of follow-up were included. Clinical outcomes were assessed using the Visual Analog Scale scores for neck and arm pain, Modified Japanese Orthopedic Association score, Neck Disability Index, and Oswestry Disability Index. Radiological evaluation included C2-C7 Cobb angle, C2 sagittal vertical axis, foraminal height, facet height, interspinous height, posterior disc space height, and fusion status. Results: The study included 25 patients (14 males and 11 females), with a mean age of 57 years. Significant improvement was observed in all clinical outcome measures at the 1-year follow-up ( Conclusion: Percutaneous cervical facet cage stabilization with indirect decompression is a minimally invasive and effective treatment option in selected patients with cervical spondylotic radiculopathy and myelopathy. The technique provides satisfactory clinical and radiological outcomes with low morbidity and short operative duration.
