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
Introduction: This study aimed to evaluate the mechanical resistance to pullout of the lumbar cortical bone trajectory (CBT) screw with and without transfixation of the second cortical in a biomechanical assay in swine vertebrae. Methods: A pullout test was performed in 16 swine vertebrae (L5 and L6) fixed with 32 CBT screws using the same protocol. Of these, 16 were inserted in a monocortical manner according to the original technique and 16 through a modified technique which included the transfixation of the second cortical bone. Results: The average maximum load value for pulling out the inserted screws with the modified technique including the transfixation of the second cortical bone was 140.50 Kgf (± 56.56), while in the original technique it was 95.69 Kgf (± 42.19) (p = 0.004). Conclusion: The biomechanical tests applied to the studied sample showed that the pullout resistance of the CBT screws inserted with the bicortical technique was, on average, 46% higher than the screws inserted according to the original monocortical technique.
