Incidence and Risk Factors for Complications and Mortality After Vertebroplasty or Kyphoplasty in the Osteoporotic Vertebral Compression Fracture-Analysis of 1,932 Cases From the American College of Surgeons National Surgical Quality Improvement.
Article in Global spine journal, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 26 papers.
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
STUDY
designRetrospective cohort.
objectiveThe purpose was to investigate the incidence of and risk factors for complications associated with vertebroplasty (VP) or kyphoplasty (KP) for osteoporotic vertebral compression fracture (OVCF) using the American College of Surgeons National Surgical Quality Improvement Program (ACS-NSQIP) database.
methodsA cohort of patients undergoing VP/KP was constructed from the 2011-2013 ACS-NSQIP dataset using Current Procedural Terminology (CPT) codes. The incidences of minor complications (i.e. urinary tract infection, pneumonia, renal insufficiency, superficial infection, wound dehiscence), major complications (i.e. reoperation, deep vein thrombosis, pulmonary embolism, sepsis, dialysis, cardiac arrest, deep infection, stroke), and mortality within 30 days post-surgery were investigated, and their risk factors were assessed using logistic regression modeling.
resultsOf 1932 patients undergoing VP/KP, 166 (8.6%) experienced a complication, including minor complications in 53 (2.7%), major complications in 95 (4.9%), and death in 40 (2.1%). Multivariate logistic regression analysis indicated that the adjusted odds ratios (95% confidence interval [CI]) of mortality was significantly associated with ASA 4: 16.604 (1.956-140.959) and increased creatinine (≥ 1.3 mg/dL): 3.494 (1.128-10.823). History of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease was associated with minor complications. Increased WBC count and hypoalbuminemia (<3.0 g/dL) were also associated with major complications.
conclusionsThe major complication and mortality rates associated with VP/KP were 4.9% and 2.1% respectively, higher than previous reports. Increased creatinine and ASA 4 were independently associated with mortality after VP/KP. Therefore, cautious monitoring and counseling is needed for elderly, patients with preexisting kidney disease or ASA 4 undergoing VP/KP.
