Interventional Procedures for Vertebral Diseases: Spinal Tumor Ablation, Vertebral Augmentation, and Basivertebral Nerve Ablation-A Scoping Review.
Article in Healthcare (Basel, Switzerland), 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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
Low back pain is consistently documented as the most expensive and leading cause of disability. The majority of cases have non-specific etiologies. However, a subset of vertebral diseases has well-documented pain generators, including vertebral body tumors, vertebral body fractures, and vertebral endplate injury. Over the past two decades, specific interventional procedures targeting these anatomical pain generators have been widely studied, including spinal tumor ablation, vertebral augmentation, and basivertebral nerve ablation. This scoping review summarizes safety and clinical efficacy and discusses the impact on healthcare utilization of these interventions. Vertebral-related diseases remain a top concern with regard to prevalence and amount of health care spending worldwide. Our study shows that for a subset of disorders related to the vertebrae, spinal tumor ablation, vertebral augmentation, and basivertebral nerve ablation are safe and clinically effective interventions to decrease pain, improve function and quality of life, and potentially reduce mortality, improve survival, and overall offer cost-saving opportunities.
