    Figure 2

    Forest plot with point estimate (95% confidence interval [CI]) of the fusion success rates established based on binary random effects model in patients treated with interbody fusion along with polyetheretherketone (PEEK) rod systems. The posterolateral fusion cases (8) in De Iure et al.16 were not included in this meta-analysis.

    Figure 3

    Forest plot with point estimate (95% confidence interval [CI]) of the fusion success rates established based on binary random effects model in patients treated with interbody fusion along with polyetheretherketone (PEEK) rod systems per graft type. Abbreviations: AG, autograft only; AGD, autograft + demineralized bone matrix.

    Figure 4

    Forest plot with point estimate (95% confidence interval [CI]) of the fusion success rates established based on binary random effects model in patients treated with interbody fusion along with polyetheretherketone (PEEK) rod systems per the number of treated levels. Abbreviations: SL, the study included only single-level–treated patients; ML, the study included single as well as multiple-level–treated patients.
