Comparison of One-Stage (Posterior-Only Approach) and Two-Stage (Combined Anterior-Posterior Approach) Surgery in Treating Spinal Tuberculosis.
Article in Advanced biomedical research, 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
Background: Limited research has examined the effectiveness of posterior-only versus combined anterior-posterior surgical techniques for spinal tuberculosis (STB). This study sought to assess and compare these two surgical methods. Materials and Methods: We conducted a prospective review of 20 patients with STB who received a posterior-only intervention (group A) and 20 patients who underwent a combined anterior-posterior procedure (group B). We analyzed and compared the outcomes of both groups. Results: Both groups showed significant improvements in the visual analogue scale and Oswestry Disability Index; however, there were no significant differences between the two groups. The average hospital stay for group A was significantly shorter ( Conclusion: Both the combined anterior-posterior and posterior-only surgical approaches can yield satisfactory clinical and radiological results in treating STB. Conversely, the posterior-only approach effectively achieves lesion debridement, decompression, and the maintenance of stability, along with the potential benefit of a reduced hospital stay.
