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

The aim of the present study was to evaluate the clinical effect of percutaneous vertebroplasty (PVP) in the treatment of old osteoporotic vertebral compression fracture (OVCF) pain.A retrospective study was conducted on the clinical and imaging data of 31 patients with old OVCF treated by PVP from June 2010 to September 2011. Clinical efficacy was evaluated by the visual analog scale (VAS) scores, the oswestry disability index (ODI), the Cobb angle, and vertebral kyphotic angle at pre-operation and post-operation 3 days, 3 months, and 12 months.The VAS scores and ODI scores of 3 day, 3 month, and 12 month after PVP were significantly improved compared with those before operation (P < .05), but the Cobb angle and vertebral kyphosis angle were not significantly improved compared with those before operation (P > .05).PVP can effectively relieve the pain caused by old OVCF, and the motor ability of the patients is improved obviously. However, the recovery of Cobb angle and vertebral kyphosis angle was not obvious.
