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

introductionThe transpedicular access is a common and effective procedure used to reach anterior vertebral body without passing through critical structures. after a transpedicular instrumentation, it is difficult to reach the anterior vertebral body because screws are placed in the way. We assume that an innovative transdiscal route could be used in patients with previous instrumentation, in order to perform a vertebroplasty or biopsy. PRESENTATION OF CASE: We report the case of a 65-years-old woman who came to our Department complaining low back pain. Neurological examination showed a stable L4 wedge fracture under a previous lumbar L3-L4 posterolateral fusion performed 2 years before. DISCUSSION: In order to perform a vertebroplasty and a biopsy of the collapsed L4 anterior vertebral body we had to deal with transpedicular screws, which prevent any standard transpedicular pproach.

conclusionIn order to reach the L4 collapsed body we used an ascending transpedicular approach. We performed a biopsy and a subsequent vertebroplasty. Two days after surgery the patient reported a complete pain remission and was allowed to walk.
