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 investigate the outcomes of using percutaneous kyphoplasty in the treatment of the secondary osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures.

methodsEighty-one patients had the secondary single segmental osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures after the initial fractures and treated by percutaneous kyphoplasty were reviewed, 74 of them had minimum 2 years follow-up were included in this study. The 74 patients with primary osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures treated by percutaneous kyphoplasty at the same time period were matched as control group in 1:1 ratio. Visual Analogue Scales (VAS) and Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) were used to assess the back pain and functional outcomes. The kyphotic angulation (KA) and compression ratio (CR) of the fractured vertebra was measured too.

resultsBoth the secondary fracture group and control group had significantly relieved back pain, improved functional outcomes, corrected KA and restored CR after operation, but no difference was found between two groups.

conclusionsOur findings suggest that percutaneous kyphoplasty is an effective and safe procedure for patients with secondary single segmental osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures; it can achieve similar clinical outcomes to the primary osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures.
