In vitro comparative assessment of the mechanical properties of PMMA cement and a GPC cement for vertebroplasty.
Article in Journal of orthopaedics, 2016. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
aimsTo develop a Glass Polyalkenoate Cement that is suitable for vertebroplasty.
methodsTesting was carried out to assess the effect of gamma irradiation used for sterilisation, on the glass transition temperature as well as its mechanical properties, including compressive strength and biflexural strength in vivo as well as testing GPC and PMMA cements post injection in cadaveric human vertebral bone.
resultsThere was a trend to a higher failure load required for the GPC cement group compared to the current standard PMMA injected group but this was not statistically significant with this small sample size.
conclusionThe results are encouraging for future research to continue on GPC cements for use in vertebroplasty.
