Biomechanical Comparison of Pull-out Strength of Different Cementation and Pedicle Screw Placement Techniques in a Calf Spine Model.

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
backgroundWe hypothesized that an entire pedicle screw tract cement augmentation has greater strength than traditional techniques.
methodTwenty-four fresh frozen calf lumbar spines were randomized into three study groups, each having eight vertebrae: (1) screw cemented after vertebroplasty; (2) fenestrated cemented screw; and (3) cementation of the entire pedicle screw tract. For the right side screws, two pedicle screws were inserted in each vertebra with the standard position in the sagittal plane, whereas the left side screws were placed at a 30° angle craniocaudal plane. From the recorded force-displacement curves, the maximum peak load (failure load) of each screw was determined. The mode of failure was screw stripping at all levels tested.
resultsThe pull-out strength for standard screw replacement at the sagittal plane was 1843.3 N, 1707.45 N, and 5365.1 N consecutively. The failure load value in the standard position in the sagittal plane in the cementation of the entire pedicle screw tract group was significantly higher than that in the fenestrated cemented screw group and screw cemented after vertebroplasty (
conclusionThe pull-out strength of the cementation of the entire pedicle screw tract was 2.5 times higher than the others. The pull-out strength of the pedicle screws in malposition obtained the same strength to the standard positions after the augmentation procedure in our study.
