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
objectiveTo investigate the feasibility and clinical efficacy of precise puncture combined with simplified percutaneous vertebroplasty (PVP) for treating osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures (OVCF).
methodsA total of 82 patients with single-segment osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures (OVCF) treated with PVP from Dec. 2016 to Nov. 2018 were retrospectively analyzed. Among the patients, 45 cases in group A accepted precise puncture combined with simplified PVP, and 37 cases in group B underwent conventional PVP. The operative time, the number of intraoperative fluoroscopy, vertebral height restoration, postoperative bone cement distribution and bone cement leakage were observed and compared. The pain relief and improvement of quality of life (QOL) were assessed by visual analog score (VAS) and Oswestry disability index (ODI).
resultsThere were no differences in injected cement volume and hospital stays in group A versus group B. The operative time, the number of intraoperative fluoroscopy and material cost were lower in group A compared with group B (P<0.05). After surgery, the VAS scores, ODI, the average vertebral height and Cobb angle were obviously improved and they were significantly different from those before operation (P<0.05). There was no statistically significant difference for VAS scores, ODI, average vertebral height and Cobb angle between groups at different time points. The proportion of patients with bone cement dispersion exceeding the midline of vertebra in group A was significantly higher than that in group B (82.2% vs. 62.1%, P<0.05), whereas the bone cement leakage rate in group A was lower than that in group B (8.9% vs. 27.0%, P<0.05). Patients were followed-up for 12-23 months (mean 17.6 months) after surgery. There were 3 cases (6.6%) of adjacent vertebral fractures in group A and 2 cases (5.4%) in group B.
conclusionPrecise puncture can improve the accuracy of puncture needle through pedicle to vertebral body. It is conducive to obtaining a better diffusion of bone cement across the midline with a lower bone cement leakage rate. Simplified PVP can not only reduce the surgery procedures, shorten the operative time, reduce the X-ray frequency, but also save material cost.
