Subsequent fractures after vertebroplasty in osteoporotic vertebral fractures: a meta-analysis.
Synthesis in Neurosurgical review, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 15 papers, 2 of them syntheses that pooled it.
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
Percutaneous vertebroplasty (VP) provides substantial benefit to patients with painful osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures (OVCF). However, the reoccurrence of vertebral fracture after VP is a major concern. The purpose of this study is to conduct a meta-analysis on the incidence of subsequent fractures after VP in patients with OVCF. PubMed and EMBASE were searched. In addition, we scrutinized the reference list of all relevant articles to supplement the database search. We included original articles reporting on new fracture rates after VP in OVCF patients. Subsequent fracture rates were pooled across studies using a random-effects meta-analysis. Thirty-nine studies with a total of 8047 participants from 12 countries were included in this meta-analysis. Patients' age ranged from 64.2 to 94.6 years (reported by 31 studies). The median follow-up was 21 months (36 studies). Pooled estimate for subsequent fractures after VP was 23.4% (95% CI, 19.8-27.2%; I
