1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

STUDY

designSystematic Review.

objectivesTo determine the efficacy and overall outcomes of iFactor/ABM/P-15 following lumbar spine surgery.

methodsWe performed a search of the Cochrane Library, Medline Ovid, PubMed, and SCOPUS databases from inception until August 2023. Eligible studies included outcomes of patients receiving iFactor following lumbar spine surgery. The primary outcomes of interest were fusion rates and iFactor efficacy after lumbar surgery in patients who received iFactor. Secondary outcomes included patient-reported outcomes and complication rates.

resultsA total of 766 titles were initially screened. After inclusion criteria were applied, 5 studies (388 patients) were included, which measured overall outcomes of iFactor/ABM/P-15 following lumbar spine surgery. These studies showed acceptable reliability for inclusion based on the Methodical Index for Non-Randomized studies and Critical Appraisal Skills Programme assessment tools. iFactor/ABM/P-15 facilitated significantly faster bone development in various procedures while maintaining favorable clinical outcomes compared to traditional grafts.

conclusionsThis systematic review found that iFactor/ABM/P-15 use for lumbar spine surgery maintains similar managing patient-reported outcomes relative to other grafting methods. In regard to rates of fusion, iFactor/ABM/P-15 showed a significantly faster rate of fusion when compared to traditional grafts including allograft, autograft, demineralized bone matrix (DBM), and recombinant human bone morphogenetic protein-2 (rhBMP-2). Future multicenter randomized control trials with larger sample sizes are recommended to further assess iFactor/ABM/P-15 efficacy in lumbar spine surgery.
