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

We compared the biomechanics between improved percutaneous vertebroplasty (improved PVP) and traditional percutaneous kyphoplasty (PKP) in the treatment of vertebral peripheral wall damage-type osteoporotic vertebral compression fracture (OVCF). A total of 15 vertebral peripheral wall damage-type OVCF models of new calves (12-14 weeks) were treated with a decalcifying agent (Shandon TBD-1) with the vertebral compression fracture. The vertebral volume and anterior height before modeling, and the vertebral BMD before and after modeling were measured. The models were randomly divided into three groups: the improved PVP group (Group A), the traditional PKP group (Group B) and the control group (Group C). BMD of Groups A, B and C after decalcification was significantly lower than that before decalcification (P<0.05). There were no significant differences in BMD before and after decalcification among Groups A, B and C (P>0.05). There was no significant difference in the initial strength and stiffness among the three groups (P>0.05). The postoperative strength of Groups A and B was 1.036±300 and 1.045±200 N, respectively, which was significantly higher than the initial strength (P<0.05). The postoperative stiffness of Groups A and B was 395±250 and 470±270 N/mm, respectively, which was slightly lower than the initial stiffness, however, the differences were not statistically significant (P>0.05). In the comparison of postoperative strength and stiffness between Groups A and B, the postoperative strength in Group A was lower than that in Group B; differences were not statistically significant (P>0.05); there was no significant difference in the postoperative stiffness between Groups A and B (P>0.05). There were no significant differences of injection of bone cement between the two groups (P>0.05). Therefore, an improved PVP can basically realize the curative effects of traditional PKP in the treatment of vertebral peripheral wall damage-type OVCF, which can be used as clinical reference.
