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

Our study demonstrated percutaneous vertebroplasty (PVP) is an effective procedure to rapidly reduce back pain in patients affected by acute osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures (OVCFs) assessed by MRI. We confirmed in our sample, femoral bone density impacts more deeply than vertebral T-score and/or BMD on bone strenght, as it is less affected by any interferences. We interestingly found the presence of previous osteoporotic fragility fractures and chronic glucocorticoids therapy should especially negatively influence bone health of our patients. On the other hand, even if both FRAX scores for major osteoporotic fractures and for femoral fractures seemed to globally define a population at major risk for fragility fractures, our analysis is retrospectively done. We choose and suggest a multidisciplinary medical management of these patients, considering OP is a multifactorial disease and OVCFs usually produce lots of different important consequences on general health.
