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 compare the effectiveness of anterior intervertebral osteotomy and fusion (AIOF), utilizing the inflection point of the uncinate process (IPUP) as an auxiliary positioning landmark, versus conventional anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF) for the treatment of cervical spondylotic myelopathy (CSM). Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical data of 60 patients with CSM who met the selection criteria and were admitted between June 2021 and December 2024. Among them, 32 patients underwent AIOF using the IPUP as an auxiliary positioning landmark (AIOF group), and 28 patients underwent ACDF (ACDF group). Baseline characteristics-including gender, age, surgical segments, preoperative visual analogue scale (VAS) score for pain, Japanese Orthopaedic Association (JOA) score, cervical lordosis angle, and the spinal cord cross-sectional area and spinal cord diameter at the surgical segments-showed no significant difference between the two groups ( Results: Operations were successfully completed in all patients, with no significant difference in operation time or intraoperative blood loss between the two groups ( Conclusion: AIOF using the IPUP as an auxiliary positioning landmark provides satisfactory effectiveness in treating CSM. It is superior to traditional ACDF in improving neurological function, relieving pain, and restoring spinal cord morphology without increasing the risk of complications, representing a safe and effective surgical procedure.
