1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

purposeThe aim of our study was to investigate the trends and incidence of vertebral augmentation procedures (VAPs) in treating osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures.

resultsIn total, 118,074 patients were analyzed. The overall incidence of VAPs was 15.2%. The incidence of VAPs was significantly higher in those 75-79 years old (20.4%), significantly higher in females than males (15.6% versus 14.9%), and most commonly performed in the South (17.7%).

conclusionThere was a decline in the frequency of these procedures since 2008, but physicians are still performing these procedures, albeit at a much lower frequency than before 2009.
