The value of dynamic radiographs in diagnosing painful vertebrae in osteoporotic compression fractures.
Article in AJNR. American journal of neuroradiology, 2011. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 papers.
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
background and purposeMany authors have reported the increase in vertebral body height after vertebroplasty; if the fractured vertebrae are mobile, we should be able to demonstrate their mobility in radiographs. The purpose of this study was to discover the diagnostic value of dynamic radiographs and the percentage of mobile vertebrae in painful VCFs. MATERIALS AND
methodsFrom September 2005 to September 2008, 105 patients underwent surgery to treat 144 painful osteoporotic VCFs. The indications for surgery were severe pain and MR imaging-confirmed active edematous lesions. Preoperative sitting lateral radiographs of the fractured vertebrae were compared with supine cross-table (with a bolster beneath) lateral radiographs to determine the presence or absence of dynamic mobility. Kyphotic angle and anterior vertebral body height were measured.
resultsThe patients' ages ranged from 62 to 90 years. There were 19 men and 86 women. The total number of mobile VCFs was 126 (87.5%). One hundred four (99%) patients had at least 1 mobile VCF. The average anterior vertebral height in sitting lateral radiographs was 13.53 ± 6.80 mm and increased to 22.01 ± 6.13 mm in supine cross-table with bolster lateral radiographs. The average vertebral body height increase was 8.48 ± 5.36 mm.
conclusionsDynamic (sitting and supine with bolster) radiographs can be valuable in diagnosing painful vertebrae in VCFs. The sensitivity was 0.88 in this study.
