Early loss of angular kyphosis correction in patients with thoracolumbar vertebral burst (A3-A4) fractures who underwent percutaneous pedicle screws fixation.

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
purposePercutaneous trans-pedicle screws represent a surgical option frequently performed in patients affected by thoracolumbar vertebral burst fractures (A3-A4). The aim of the study was to evaluate the early loss of kyphosis correction and its clinical correlations in a cohort of patients affected by burst spinal fracture treated with percutaneous trans-pedicle screws fixation.
methodsThe present investigation consists in a retrospective one center analysis. The primary outcome was the evaluation of the early loss of correction. Secondary outcomes were the bi-segmental kyphosis change, the clinical outcome and the correlation between clinical outcome and the loss of correction.
resultsAmong 435 patients 97 were included in the study. A mean 3.3° of early loss of correction was observed between postoperative and 1 month follow-up evaluations. The mean anterior vertebral body height change was 3.8 mm. No statistical differences were found in clinical and functional outcomes between patients with >2° or <2° of kyphosis loss of correction.
conclusionNo statistical differences were found between 1 e 6 months postoperative kyphosis loss of correction. The amount of loss of correction seems not to influence clinical outcomes after percutaneous trans-pedicle screw fixation in patients with vertebral burst fractures.
