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

Clinical studies have extensively shown that burst fractures can cause severe and long-term neurological deficits. However, the mechanism of burst fracture is not clear, and the influence of different spinal postures on burst fracture is still unidentified. The study aimed at investigating the influence of different postures under vertical impact load on thoracolumbar burst fracture. A detailed nonlinear finite element model of T12-L2 segment was developed to investigate these problems. In this work, a rigid ball was used to vertically impact the finite element spinal segment, which emulated the process of burst fracture as in experimental condition. During the process, amounting to 9 different postures (normal, flexion, extension, right/left lateral bending of 8°, right/left axial rotation of 4° and 8°) were studied. Totally five failure modes were observed. Six different parameters, including vertebral height, vertebral bulge, interpedicular widening, vertebral kyphotic angle, posterior vertebral body angle, and joint facet contact force, were observed to evaluate the corresponding severity of burst fracture. Burst fracture in extension was the severest, and the loss of vertebral height in flexion was the most. The different postures in these simulations changed the morphology of intervertebral disc and facet joints force, resulting in different types of fracture.
