Percutaneous vertebroplasty under local anaesthesia: feasibility regarding patients' experience.
Article in European radiology, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 26 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
objectiveEvaluate patients' intraoperative experience of percutaneous vertebroplasty (PV) performed without general anaesthesia in order to assess the feasibility of local anaesthesia and simple analgesic medication as pain control protocol.
methodsNinety-five patients who underwent single-site PV were consecutively included in the study between 2011 and 2013. Each procedure was achieved under local anaesthesia and perfusion of paracetamol, tramadol and dolasetron, with combined CT and fluoroscopy guidance. Numeric pain scale (NPS) was collected before, during and after intervention. After intervention, patients were asked to evaluate their experience as "very bad", "bad", "fair", "good" or "very good", independently of the pain.
resultsIndications for vertebroplasty were osteopenic fractures (78 %), aggressive angiomas (13 %) and somatic tumours (9 %). In 76 % of cases, patients' experience was described as "very good" (44 %) or "good" (32 %), whereas 19 % described it as "fair" and 5 % as "very bad". Mean operative NPS was 5.5. After intervention, NPS was significantly lower with a decrease of 4.5 points. No differences were found according to the localization, type of lesion, age or sex either in terms of experience or NPS.
conclusionPercutaneous vertebroplasty is feasible under local anaesthesia alone, with a very good or good experience in 76 % of the patients. KEY POINTS: • Vertebroplasty is a first-line therapy for consolidation and pain control of vertebral lesions. • This procedure is commonly performed under general anaesthesia or conscious sedation. • We perform vertebroplasty under local anaesthesia and simple analgesic protocol with acceptable experience. • Percutaneous vertebroplasty can safely be proposed in a fragile population.
