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

backgroundTo evaluate the role of third generation percutaneous vertebral augmentation systems (Spine Jack

methodsSpine Jack

resultsThe anterior and middle column reconstruction by Spine Jack represents a valid alternative to the corpectomy in the patients affected by VP, especially in case elderly and/or high operative risk. In case of Spine Jack use, the correct indications must be respected: the hyperintense signal in STIR MRI sequences to the level of the fractures must be present. The eventual posterior spinal cord compression represents a relative contraindication. In case it would be superior to 1/3 and 2/3 respectively in case of fractures level above and below the spinal cord, a direct posterior spinal cord decompression must be performed.

conclusionsAvoiding the corpectomy, it is possible to reduce the operating time and the associated risks, as well as reducing blood loss.
