Comparison of Percutaneous Kyphoplasty with or without Pedicle Screw Fixation in Osteoporotic Thoracolumbar Vertebral Fractures: A Retrospective Study.
Article in Disease markers, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 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
backgroundOsteoporotic thoracolumbar compression fractures have become a great social burden due to the aging tendency of population. This study is aimed at comparing the clinical and radiological outcomes of percutaneous kyphoplasty with or without pedicle screw fixation in patients with osteoporotic thoracolumbar fractures.
methodsThis retrospective study included 87 patients who received percutaneous kyphoplasty with or without pedicle screw fixation between October 2015 and October 2017 at Ningbo No.6 Hospital and were followed for 2 years. A total of 40 patients received percutaneous kyphoplasty with pedicle screw fixation (PKPF group), and the other 47 patients had percutaneous kyphoplasty only (PKP group). The outcomes were measured using the visual analogue scale (VAS), Oswestry Disability Index (ODI), Cobb angle (CA), and anterior vertebra height rate (AVHr), which were calculated at preoperative admission and each follow-up visit. Complications including postoperative back pain, refracture, and fixation failure were collected from medical records.
resultsThere was no significant difference in baseline characteristics or preoperative data between the two groups (
conclusionsPKPF obtained longer correction and better improvement in VAS, ODI, and CA in patients with osteoporotic thoracolumbar vertebral fractures than PKP.
