The Biomechanical Properties of Cement-Augmented Pedicle Screws for Osteoporotic Spines.
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 11 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
designThis is a broad, narrative review of the literature.
objectiveIn this review, we describe recent biomechanics studies on cement-augmented pedicle screws for osteoporotic spines to determine which factors influence the effect of cement augmentation.
methodsA search of Medline was performed, combining the search terms "pedicle screw" and ("augmentation" OR "cement"). Articles published in the past 5 years dealing with biomechanical testing were included.
resultsSeveral factors have been identified to impact the effect of cement augmentation in osteoporotic spines. These include the type of augmentation material, the volume of injected cement, the timing of augmentation, the severity of osteoporosis, the design of the pedicle screw, and the specific augmenting technique, among others.
conclusionsThis review elaborates the biomechanics of cement-augmented pedicle screws, determines which factors influence the augmentation effect, and identifies the risk factors of cement leakage in osteoporotic bone, which might offer some guidance when using this technique in clinical practice. Further, we provide information about newly designed screws and recently developed augmentation materials that provide higher screw stability as well as fewer cement-related complications.
