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

Objective: To investigate the correlation between cervical sagittal imbalance, disc morphology, and localized ossification of the posterior longitudinal ligament (LOP) in patients with single-level cervical disc herniation. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted on 150 patients with single-level cervical disc herniation and complete imaging data (including standard X-ray film, CT, and MRI). Patients were divided into the LOP(+) group ( Results: Univariate analysis showed that Pfirrmann grade, maximum base width of herniated disc, spinal canal occupancy rate, height of intervertebral space, C Conclusion: Cervical sagittal imbalance (characterized by reduced lordosis and segmental mobility) and disc base expansion are significantly associated with LOP coexistence in single-level cervical disc herniation patients. These imaging markers may aid early identification of high-risk populations in clinical settings.
