[Repositioning options with percutaneous dorsal stabilization. For burst fractures of the thoracolumbar junction].
Trial report in Der Unfallchirurg, 2014. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
backgroundThe purpose of this investigation was to evaluate the options of percutaneous systems for reducing relevant posttraumatic kyphosis in spinal burst fractures. Clinical advantages of percutaneous techniques are evident from the literature and a disadvantage can be a lack of repositioning options in reducing the fracture kyphosis. Better results seem to be possible with new techniques and especially monoaxial percutaneous screws. PATIENTS AND
methodsA total of 70 patients with burst fractures (AO type Magerl A3.1-A3.3) of the thoracolumbar spine were treated with a special percutaneous reduction technique in the Trauma Clinic in Murnau (BGU) Germany between July 2009 and March 2011. Posttraumatic, intraoperative and postoperative kyphosis was measured in computed tomography (CT) scans in monosegmental and bisegmental angles. Two different percutaneous fixation systems were compared for reduction. Statistical analyses were carried out with Student's t-test.
resultsWe found a highly significant difference between preoperative and postoperative kyphosis angles but no differences in reduction between the two percutaneous systems. In 39 cases additional reconstruction of the anterior column was necessary because of a ventral defect. In comparison to the MCS 2 study of the German Society of Trauma Surgery (DGU) we found no differences in postoperative kyphosis angles (3°).
conclusionA significant reduction of posttraumatic kyphosis of thoracolumbar burst fractures is possible with percutaneous techniques. Prerequisites are percutaneous monoaxial screws and tools and a special percutaneous technique as described.
