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

objectiveVertebroplasty is the most widely used method for treating osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures (OVCF). During this procedure, bone cement is injected into the vertebral body. Fracture and additional fractures can occur adjacent to the treatment site. Thus, we studied factors causing such vertebral fractures after vertebroplasty and calculated the appropriate amount of bone cement to inject.

methodsFrom September 2012 to March 2016, 187 patients with OVCF undergoing vertebroplasty were selected, and 112 patients with complete follow-up information were selected. Of these, 28 had adjacent vertebral fractures (refracture group) during the follow-up period, and 84 patients had no adjacent vertebral fractures (control group). Then, sex, age, body weight, bone mineral density (BMD), and bone cement injection (bone cement injection volume and bone fracture vertebral volume percent) were compared.

resultsAll patients had significant pain relief within 24 h (preoperative and postoperative [24 h later] VAS scores were 7.4 ± 0.8 and 2.3 ± 0.5, respectively). The age and weight were not statistically significantly different (P > 0.05). BMD values were statistically significantly different between groups as was sex (P < 0.05).

conclusionsBone cement injection volume, BMD values, and sex were statistically significantly related to adjacent vertebral fractures after vertebroplasty, and cement injection volumes exceeding 40.5% caused adjacent vertebral fractures.
