Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) patients with osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures (OVCFs): improvement of pulmonary function after percutaneous vertebroplasty (VTP).
Article in European radiology, 2014. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 20 papers, 1 of them a synthesis 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
objectivesTo investigate the changes of respiratory function in patients affected by chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) with single dorsal osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures (OVCFs) treated with vertebroplasty (VTP).
methodsForty-five patients affected by COPD and single dorsal OVCF underwent VTP (29 men, 16 women; mean age 71.4 years, range 65-77 years). Inclusion criteria were magnetic resonance findings of bone marrow oedema, without intracanal bone fragments and refractory pain to medical treatment for at least 3 months. Osteoporosis was assessed by bone densitometry. Spirometry was performed before and after treatment.
resultsA significant VAS-score decrease was observed 1 week after VTP, with a subsequent decrease over time; vital capacity (VC) and forced vital capacity (FVC) improved over time, reaching a plateau at 3 months. Forced expiratory volume at 1 s (FEV1) did not significantly differ between the pre-VTP values and follow-up values. A significant correlation was observed between VAS-score values and VC, and VAS-score values and FVC. No significant correlation was observed between VAS-score values and FEV1 values.
conclusionsVTP improves restrictive ventilatory impairment in patients with moderate and severe COPD affected by single thoracic OVCFs. We recommend this treatment in the management of these patients. KEY POINTS: • Osteoporosis is a major comorbidity in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) patients. • Pain due to osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures worsens respiratory failure in COPD. • Vertebroplasty improves ventilatory impairment in COPD patients with osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures.
