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
introductionWe have developed the single or double endplates penetrating screw (SEPS/DEPS) technique, which is a novel percutaneous pedicle screw (PPS) insertion technique suitable for osteoporotic vertebral body fracture (OVF) patients with diffuse idiopathic skeletal hyperostosis (DISH). This study aims to compare the effectiveness of this SEPS/DEPS technique with the conventional pedicle screw technique.
methodsThe screw is inserted upward from the outer caudal side of the pedicle toward the inner cranial side. Vertebrae affected with DISH were inserted with screws using the SEPS/DEPS technique, whereas non-fused vertebrae were inserted with screws using the conventional PPS technique. Twelve OVF patients with DISH were included in this study; three with SEPS/DEPS technique only and nine with a hybrid of both the DEPS and the conventional PPS techniques. As a control group, 12 OVF patients with DISH treated by conventional PPS. The rates of implant failures and of surgical complications were compared between the SEPS/DEPS group and the control group. The insertion torque was measured and compared between DEPS and conventional PPS in three hybrid patients.
resultsIn the SEPS/DEPS group, 70 screws were inserted with the SEPS/DEPS technique and 56 screws were inserted with the conventional PPS technique. In the control group, 116 screws were inserted using the conventional PPS and the PS techniques. The loosening of screws was significantly less in screws inserted with the SEPS/DEPS technique (0/70 screws, 0%) than with screws inserted with the conventional technique (12/116 screws, 10.3%). The average insertion torque of DEPS was 2.25 Nm, which was 134% higher than that of conventional PPS which was 1.64 Nm (p = 0.04).
conclusionsThis novel SEPS/DEPS technique has a higher insertion torque compared with the conventional PPS techniques and demonstrated itself to be an effective option for patients with concomitant bone fragility due to DISH.
