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

The purpose of this study was to compare the efficacy of minimally invasive percutaneous pedicle screw osteosynthesis (MIPPSO) and traditional open pedicle screw osteosynthesis (TOPSO) in the treatment of thoracolumbar vertebra fracture. A retrospective case-control study was conducted in 120 patients with thoracolumbar vertebral fractures treated in the Affiliated Jiangyin Hospital of Southeast University Medical School (Jiangyin, China) from January 2013 to September 2014. They were randomly divided into two groups: MIPPSO and TOPSO groups with 60 cases in each group. The operation time, blood loss, incision length, post-operative bed rest time, hospital stay, visual analogue scale (VAS) pain scores and Oswestry disability index (ODI) scores before and after operation were recorded and analyzed. Inflammatory indexes including serum C-reactive protein (CRP) and creatine kinase (CK), the anterior vertebral height ratio and kyphosis Cobb's angle changes were also observed. The basic data of the two groups were similar, and there was no significant difference in the operation time between the two groups. The perioperative blood loss, length of incision, bed rest time and total hospital stay in the minimally invasive group were less than those in the open group. Levels of post-operative inflammation indicators such as CRP and CK were significantly higher than those of pre-operative (P<0.05), which was more obvious in the TOPSO group (P<0.05). VAS, ODI scores, anterior vertebral height and Cobb's angle were significantly improved at three days, one and 12 months after surgery compared with those before operation. MIPPSO for the treatment of thoracolumbar fractures can achieve similar clinical effects with traditional incision surgery. In addition, it has the advantages of less trauma, less bleeding and shorter post-operative bed rest time and hospital stay.
