Percutaneous Transpedicular Fixation by PEEK Polymer Implants Combined with Cementoplasty for Vertebral Compression Fractures: A Pilot Study.
Article in Cardiovascular and interventional radiology, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
purposeTo evaluate the feasibility and safety of percutaneous transpedicular fixation by PEEK polymer implants and cementoplasty for vertebral compression fracture (VCF). MATERIALS AND
methodsFrom February 2019 to December 2019, 6 consecutive patients (3 men and 3 women; mean age 55 ± 8 years; range 40-64 years) who had percutaneous transpedicular fixation with cementoplasty for the treatment of VCF (5 tumor lesions, 1 traumatic) were included. The procedure duration, length of hospital stay, and complications were reported. Visual analog scale (VAS) and the Oswestry disability index (ODI) for pain and disability were assessed before and 2 months after the procedure.
resultsThe mean procedure duration was 74 ± 47 min (range 20-140 min). The median length of hospital stay was 3 days (range 2-63) after the procedure. Only minor adverse events were reported (4 asymptomatic cement leakages) but no severe complications. No cases of procedural site fracture during follow-up were noted (median 198 days; range 78-238 days). The mean VAS score decreased from 6.2 ± 1.8 mm (median 6 mm; range 4-9 mm) before the procedure to 1.7 ± 2.1 mm (median 1; range 0-5 mm) after the procedure. The ODI decreased from 36 ± 14% (range 18-54%) before the procedure to 23 ± 10% (range 11-30%) at 2-months follow-up.
conclusionsPercutaneous transpedicular fixation of VCF by PEEK implants with cementoplasty appears feasible and safe.
