Treatment of multiple osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures by percutaneous cement augmentation.
Article in International orthopaedics, 2014. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 21 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
purposeVertebral compression fractures cause significant pain and some patients are debilitated by the pain due to the fracture. Conventional surgery carries a high risk and has a poor outcome. Vertebroplasty is a minimally invasive surgical procedure, which in vertebral fractures restores stability and diminishes pain. The aim of the study was to analyse the effectiveness and safety of vertebroplasty in multiple vertebral compression fractures with a 24-month follow-up.
methodsVertebroplasty was performed in 160 patients with multiple osteoporotic compression fractures under local anaesthesia, using a unilateral transpedicular approach. The level of pain was assessed according to a 10-cm visual analogue scale. The patients were observed for 24 months after surgery.
resultsVertebroplasty significantly diminished the level of pain in 90% of patients, and half of them were free of pain within 12 hours after surgery. Only 4% of the patients did not benefit from this type of treatment. During the 24-month follow-up these results changed only slightly, and after two years almost 80% still benefited, while the number of unsatisfactory results changed from 6 to 9%. No serious clinical complications were noted; in three patients new fractures appeared during the two year observation period.
conclusionsVertebroplasty should be seriously taken into account as a primary method of treatment in patients with multiple osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures.
