Senility, defecation disorders, sleep disorders, and non-operative spinal infections: A single-center retrospective analysis.
Article in World journal of orthopedics, 2025. 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
backgroundNon-operative spinal infections (NOSI) are caused by tuberculosis, brucella, and other specific bacteria. The etiology of the disease is insidious, the onset is slow and the diagnosis and treatment are difficult. Identifying the factors associated with spinal infection and early intervention can reduce the occurrence of the disease. At present, the research mainly focuses on the accurate diagnosis and treatment of spinal infection, and there are few studies on the prevention of spinal infection. The concept of "preventive treatment of diseases" in traditional Chinese medicine may help identify the causes and reduce the occurrence of NOSI.
aimTo determine the association of age, bowel movements, and sleep patterns with NOSI.
methodsData of 69 NOSI patients and 84 healthy controls in a tertiary hospital from January 2019 to June 2024 were collected. Patients with NOSI had imaging evidence (magnetic resonance imaging) of spinal infections (including infections caused by tuberculosis, brucopathy, and other pathogens) and had no history of spinal surgery in the last 1 year were included in the analysis. Patients with spinal infection due to spinal surgery are excluded in the study. Data including age, sex, place of residence, sleeping status, and bowel movements were collected. SPSS22.0 was used for correlation analysis of all data.
resultsThe mean age of the NOSI group and the control group was 63.55 ± 14.635 years and 59.18 ± 17.111 years, respectively, without statistical difference (
conclusionMost patients with NOSI are older and have sleep disorders and abnormal defecation.
