Kyphosis and canal compromise due to refracturing of an L1 cemented vertebra managed with posterior surgery alone.
Article in Surgical neurology international, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
backgroundAn already cemented vertebral body rarely refractures and its occurrence may be signaled by the reappearance of pain and/or significant vertebral collapse/kyphosis resulting in canal compromise and neurological deterioration. CASE DESCRIPTION: An 81-year-old male originally underwent an L1 kyphoplasty for an osteoporotic compression fracture. Nine months later, he presented with the late onset of recurrent collapse of the cemented vertebral body, leading to pain, kyphosis, and canal compromise. Surgery warranted total L1 corpectomy, reconstruction of the anterior column, and a posterior fixation through a purely posterior approach (posterior vertebral column resection [pVCR]).
conclusionHere, we presented the safety/efficacy of utilizing a purely posterior approach (e.g., including L1 corpectomy, reconstruction of the anterior column, and posterior fusion: pVCR) in the management of a repeated fracture of a cemented L1 vertebra resulting in kyphosis and canal compromise.
