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
BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to evaluate the clinical efficacy of modified posterior vertebral column resection (MPVCR) in treating osteoporotic Kummell disease. MATERIAL AND METHODS Between January 2013 and January 2015, 10 patients who were diagnosed with Kummell disease underwent MPVCR treatment, and their medical records were retrospectively collected. Every patient had follow-up for at least one year, with an average of 15 months. Clinical efficacy of MPVCR treatment was evaluated by kyphotic Cobb's angle, Oswestry disability index (ODI) and visual analogue scale (VAS) score. RESULTS Data analyses showed that operation time was 188.39±30.8 minutes, and blood loss was 860±130 mL with 600±200 mL of blood transfusions. VAS score decreased significantly after MPVCR surgery (p<0.001, Mann-Whitney U test). In addition, data analyses showed that postoperative ODI was less than preoperative ODI, which was a statistically significant difference (p<0.001, Mann-Whitney U test). X-ray radiograph showed that kyphotic Cobb's angle was 45°±12° preoperatively, 10°±4° two weeks after surgery, and 15°±6° at last follow-up, indicating that Cobb's angle after MPVCR surgery was significantly improved, compared to the preoperative scores (p<0.05, SNK-q test). CONCLUSIONS MPVCR surgery was an effective and safe surgical method to treat Kummell disease, especially for patients with kyphotic deformity and obvious nerve-oppressed symptoms. However, the long-term clinical effect still needs further studies.
