Effects of therapeutic exercise for persons with osteoporotic vertebral fractures: a systematic review.
Synthesis in Osteoporosis international : a journal established as result of cooperation between the European Foundation for Osteoporosis and the National Osteoporosis Foundation of the USA, 2011. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers, 5 of them syntheses that pooled 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.
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
unlabelledA systematic literature review was conducted and revealed nine studies investigating the effects of therapeutic exercise for persons with osteoporotic vertebral fractures. Although modest improvements were noted in strength and balance, results were inconsistent in supporting therapeutic exercise as effective in improving outcomes such as pain and quality of life (QOL).
introductionThe purpose of this systematic review was to investigate the effects of therapeutic exercise as an intervention for patients over age 45 years with one or more osteoporotic vertebral fractures. The effects of the intervention on the following outcomes are summarized in this review: pain/analgesic use, QOL, function, strength, balance, range of motion, bone mineral density, and incidence of future fractures.
methodsA systematic literature review of therapeutic exercise as a treatment for persons with osteoporotic vertebral fractures was conducted. Studies were retrieved from six databases, screened for inclusion, and assessed for methodological quality. Results were analyzed qualitatively based on levels of evidence, methodological rigor, and consistency of findings across studies within each of the eight health-related outcomes.
resultsDue to inconsistent results across the nine studies included in the review, there is only limited or inconsistent evidence for the effectiveness of therapeutic exercise on each of the outcomes investigated.
conclusionsDue to lack of high-quality, consistent research on the effects of exercise for persons with vertebral fractures, no definitive conclusions can be drawn from this systematic review. Positive trends were identified with regard to improvements in strength and balance, with no increase in pain following exercise protocols. Future research is needed in this area.
