Cement pulmonary embolism after balloon kyphoplasty.
Article in Respiratory medicine case reports, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
Osteoporotic vertebral fractures are common among the geriatric population and are managed by vertebral augmentation procedures. Pulmonary cement embolism is a relatively rare complication of these procedures and can range from mild, transient respiratory sequelae to a more severe pulmonary infarction. We discuss the case of a 75-year-old woman, identified with osteoporotic thoracolumbar vertebral fractures, found to have pulmonary cement embolism four days following multi-level balloon kyphoplasty. We attempt to highlight, pulmonary cement embolism as a potential complication following a vertebral augmentation procedure and that systematic pulmonary imaging after surgery may be helpful to facilitate its detection and further management.
