[Long-Term Functional and Radiological Outcomes of Maverick].
Observational study in Acta chirurgiae orthopaedicae et traumatologiae Cechoslovaca, 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
purpose of the studyLumbar Degenerative Disc Disease is a pathologic process that affects a large portion of aging population. Mobile lumbar disc replacement is a treatment option that preserves the natural movement of the functional spinal unit. The study aimed to evaluate the long-term functional and radiological outcomes of Maverick and Prodisc implants. MATERIAL AND
methodsMonocentric longitudinal observational study with a follow up ≥ 10 years. ODI and VAS were assessed and functional radiographs were evaluated. Analysis of revision surgery via Cox regression, analysis of quantitative data by linear regression and Mann-Whitney-Wilcoxon test.
resultsThere were 3 revision surgeries in the Maverick group and no revision surgery in the Prodisc group (p=0.1012). The mean ODI (Maverick) was 16.5 (95% CI 10.3-22.8) vs. 11.8 (95% CI 5.6-17.9) in Prodisc, p = 0.5999. Mean lumbar VAS in Maverick reached 4.11 (2.78-5.45), in Prodisc 3.13 (1.99-4.26), p = 0.3100. Both ODI and VAS correlated negatively with the left-sided lateroflexion. R = (-0.5084), p = 0.0312 for ODI and R = (-0.538), p = 0.0210 for VAS. Heterotopic calcifications were significantly higher in men with the mean grading of 2.8 vs.1.7 in women, p = 0.0251. Urogenital complication was reported in one patient. DISCUSSION: The results of our study were concordant with similar longitudinal studies. A more detailed discussion is included in our full-text paper.
conclusionsThe long-term outcomes were poorer than the short-term ones, but satisfactory. A decrease in the range of motion and an increase in ODI and VAS scores were observed due to ongoing degenerative changes of the posterior segment. The heterotopic calcifications were common but were not associated with the revision surgery.
