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

A retrospective study of consecutive patients.The purpose of this study was to compare the clinical effect of biomimetic mineralized collagen (MC) modified polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) bone cement and traditional PMMA bone cement for the treatment of osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures (OVCF).New fracture on adjacent level is the major postoperative complication of percutaneous vertebroplasty (PVP). The clinical incidence was 12.4% to 27.7%. The increased stiffness of the treated vertebral body caused by filling bone cement is considered as one of the main reasons.A total of 30 patients treated with traditional PMMA bone cement from June 2013 to March 2016 were selected as the traditional group, while 50 patients treated with MC modified PMMA bone cement from July 2014 to March 2016 were selected as the modified group. The 2 groups were compared by injection time of the bone cements, postoperative pain relief effects, vertebral height restoration, CT value changes of the treated vertebral bodies, and postoperative complications in the clinical observations.The surgeries were successfully completed in both groups. In the treatment of OVCF, the MC modified bone cement was able to achieve the same pain relief and vertebral height restoration effects compared to traditional bone cement during the follow-ups, although the injection time of the cement was prolonged in the operation. MC modified bone cement significantly reduced the incidence of postoperative adjacent vertebral fracture from 13.3% to 2%, and significantly increased bone density of the treated vertebral bodies.The MC modified PMMA bone cement showed good clinical outcomes and better mechanical properties than the traditional bone cements.
