Treatment of a High-risk Thoracolumbar Compression Fracture Using Bilateral Expandable Titanium SpineJack Implants.
Article in Cureus, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
In this case, an 80-year-old active patient developed an acute osteoporotic fracture after a fall at L1 above a previous interlaminar implant at L4-5 for stenosis with neurogenic claudication. Radiologic studies found both intra-discal and intra-vertebral vacuum clefts that are highly correlated with instability and progressive kyphosis. Long-term experience with kyphoplasty has shown that acute and subacute fractures can often be re-expanded; however, over three months to one year, the correction is frequently lost and the vertebral height continues to decrease leading to increased risk of both continued deformity and especially adjacent level fractures. The use of newly available titanium intra-vertebral implants combined with bone cement restores and maintains vertebral height and correction of deformities. Long-term studies also demonstrate a reduced risk of adjacent level fractures compared to balloon kyphoplasty. Using vertebral body implants that remain in place within the fractured vertebral body the initial height correction can be better maintained leading to less adjacent level fractures.
