Rapid efficacy of percutaneous kyphoplasty (PKP) in treating thoracolumbar fractures in elderly patients.
Article in American journal of translational research, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
objectiveThis study aims to investigate the effects of percutaneous kyphoplasty (PKP) on the elderly patients with thoracolumbar fractures and its influence on their complications and quality of life.
methodsTotally 175 elderly patients with thoracolumbar fractures admitted to our hospital from June 2017 to January 2019 were selected as the research participants. Seventy patients in the control group (CG) were treated with conventional therapy, and 105 in the research group (RG) were treated by percutaneous kyphoplasty (PKP). The surgical indications (time of hospitalization and ground exercise), pressure injury and pain (VAS score) of patients in both groups were tested and compared. The ODI score, quality of life GQOLI-74 scale score, height of anterior vertebral border and cobb angle of patients were compared, and their total effective and complication rates were statistically analyzed.
resultsThe surgical indications of patients in the RG were better than those in the CG. Those with pressure injury in stages 1 and 2 were fewer, and VAS and ODI scores were lower; GQOLI-74 scale score was higher, height of anterior vertebral border was higher than that in the CG, and the cobb angle was smaller The total effective rate was higher and the incidence of complications was lower than that in the CG.
conclusionPKP is more effective and faster in treating thoracolumbar fractures in elderly patients with fewer postoperative complications, and can promote the recovery of function and quality of life.
