Utilization of the directional balloon technique to improve the effectiveness of percutaneous kyphoplasty in the treatment of osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures and reduction of bone cement leakage.
Trial report in Medicine, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
backgroundThis article evaluates the effectiveness of a new directional balloon technique in the treatment of osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures (OVCFs).
methodsFrom September 2015 to April 2017, 100 patients with single-segment OVCFs treated using percutaneous kyphoplasty were available for complete data assessment. Among these, 51 cases were treated with the traditional nondirectional balloon technique (group 1) and 49 cases were treated with the directional balloon technique (group 2). Operative time, blood loss, and X-ray exposure time were compared between the 2 groups. The visual analogue score (VAS), Oswestry disability index (ODI), and Roland Morris disability (RMD) scores, and wedge-shaped and kyphosis angles were measured at 3 days and 1, 3, 6, and 12 months, respectively, after surgery.
resultsThere were no significant differences in blood loss or the amount of bone cement injected between the 2 groups; however, operative times, X-ray exposure times, and leakage rates of bone cement, especially type C in group 2, were significantly lower in group 2 than those in group 1. VAS, ODI, and RMD scores, and wedge-shaped and kyphosis angles at each time point after surgery were significantly higher than those before surgery. However, the improvement in VAS, ODI, and RMD scores in group 2 was only significantly better than those in group 1 at 3 days after surgery.
conclusionThe utilization of the directional balloon technique in the treatment of OVCFs using percutaneous kyphoplasty can not only reduce the operation time, the radiation, and the bone cement leakage, but also improve the early curative effect.
