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

Percutaneous kyphoplasty (PKP) has been used in Kümmell disease treatment for years. The objective of the current study was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of PKP in the treatment of patients with Kümmell disease and to explore the association between cement injection volume and pain relief. A total of 50 patients were enrolled in the present study and follow-up was 2 years. Efficacy was evaluated using the Visual Analog Scale (VAS), the Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) and the kyphotic angle (Cobb's angle). VAS and ODI were determined at the initial evaluation (prior to surgery), at 3 days, 3 months, and 1 and 2 years post surgery. Cobb's angle was measured prior to and 3 months, 1 year and 2 years following surgery. PKP safety was assessed by evaluating complications, including cement leakage and spinal cord compression. In the follow-ups, VAS significantly decreased from 7.00±0.78 pre-PKP to 3.14±0.67 at 2 years post-PKP (P<0.05). ODI significantly decreased from 73.88±8.60 prior to surgery to 22.84±8.85 at 1 year following surgery (P<0.05) and did not significantly change at the following 2-year measurement (26.44±8.63). The Cobb's angle, measured at 17.73±2.43° preoperatively, significantly decreased to 8.32±2.21° at 3 months following surgery (P<0.05). On subsequent follow-ups at 1 and 2 years, the Cobb's angle increased to 9.55±2.82 and 10.27±3.22°, respectively. A total of 8 patients exhibited signs of cement leakage during the PKP procedure. No patients experienced severe neurological deficits or complications. Spearman analysis demonstrated a positive correlation between cement injection volume and pain relief. The current study indicated that PKP was a safe and effective treatment for patients with Kümmell disease and that there was a positive correlation between cement injection volume and pain relief. The current study may be used a reference in cement dosing for the treatment of PKP.
