Percutaneous pedicle screw fixation plus kyphoplasty for thoracolumbar fractures A2, A3 and B2.
Article in European spine journal : official publication of the European Spine Society, the European Spinal Deformity Society, and the European Section of the Cervical Spine Research Society, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 19 papers.
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
designRetrospective cohort. PURPOSE: The aim of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of percutaneous short fixation (PSFx) plus kyphoplasty (BP) for thoracolumbar fractures.
methodsThirty-six consecutive selected patients, aged 59 ± 17 years, with fresh single thoracolumbar A
resultsPain and kyphosis decreased and vertebral body heights increased significantly postoperation. PMMA leakage occurred in five cases; 6 (4 %) screws were grades III malpositioned in relation to pedicle; facet violation occurred in 8 (5.5 %) facets; loss of kyphosis correction was 3.68°; ASD occurred in two cases; interfacet fusion in ten (28 %) patients; Three patients were reoperated for different reasons.
conclusionsPSFx plus BP for thoracolumbar fractures reduces significantly spinal deformity and pain with few complications.
