Symptomatic Schmorl's nodes: role of percutaneous vertebroplasty. Open study on 52 patients.
Article in Neuroradiology, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
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.
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
purposeTo assess the feasibility and clinical outcome of combined CT and fluoroscopy-guided percutaneous vertebroplasty in the management of painful Schmorl's nodes (SN).
methodsA prospective study was carried out from January 2014 to January 2016 in 52 consecutive patients. Thirty-two men and 30 women aged between 42 and 88 years old were consecutively included. Technical success was defined as the ability to deposit cement in the subchondral endplate anteriorly, around the SN and posteriorly to the SN, in a cupule-like shape. Data regarding procedure time, amount of cement injection, and cement leakage were also noted. Assessment of pain was performed with VAS score and Oswestry disability index. All patients underwent a clinical and radiological follow-up at 1 day, 1 month, 6 months, and 1 year after procedure.
resultsTechnical success was 100%. Mean procedural time was 15 min, and mean injected cement volume was 2.8 mL. The VAS and Oswestry disability index decreased respectively from 7.2 ± 1.5 to 2.1 ± 1.0 and from 59.2 ± 16.2 to 17.1 ± 5.0 at 1 month. Follow-up mean VAS scores were 2.4 (± 1.4) at 6 months and 2.2 (± 1.2) at 12 months.
conclusionPVP appears as a feasible procedure in patients with painful SN with satisfying pain decrease in the following year after procedure.
