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

purposeTo evaluate the safety and efficacy of PKP under O-arm navigation system guidance for treating middle thoracic OVCF (T6~T9).

methodsA retrospective study was conducted for 44 consecutive T6~T9 OVCF patients who received PKP assisted with O-arm navigation (n = 20) or fluoroscopy (n = 24) from January 2016 to December 2017. Demographic data, radiographic parameters, and clinical outcomes were collected and analyzed at pre-operative, post-operative, and final follow-up period. Complications including tissue lesion, needle malposition, and leakage of bone cement were also recorded amid operation.

resultsA total of 44 patients (4 males and 40 females, with mean age of 71.1 ± 8.7) were enrolled in this study, and the mean follow-up time was 14.4 months. In surgical details, navigation system could obtain more satisfactory volume of injected cement and less loss of blood, as well did not increase surgical time compared with fluoroscopy. Both radiological and clinical outcomes improved significantly at post-operative and final follow-up, while did not differed between two groups. For adverse events, the incidence of cement leakage was similar between two groups. However, O-arm navigation can achieve lower rate of complications than fluoroscopy.

conclusionOur preliminary study demonstrated that PKP assisted with O-arm navigation is a safe and effective procedure that applied for middle thoracic OVCF (T6~T9), which can achieve favourable radiological and clinical outcomes, and low rate of complications.
