1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

backgroundTo explore the risk factors involved in the induction of thoracolumbar fascia (TLF) injury by osteoporotic vertebral compression fracture (OVCF), and the association between the residual pain after percutaneous vertebroplasty (PVP) and fascial injury.

methodsA total of 81 patients with single-segment OVCF, treated between January 2018 and January 2020 were included. The patients were grouped according to the existence of TLF injury. The patients' general, clinical, and imaging data were accessed.

resultsThere were 47 patients in the TLF group and 34 in the non-injury group (NTLF group). In the TLF group, BMI (Body mass index) was significantly lower, while the prevalence of hypertension and sarcopenia were significantly higher (P < 0.05). The vertebral compression degree was higher, and the kyphosis angle of the injured vertebra was greater in the TLF group (P < 0.05). Cobb's angle was not significantly different between groups. At 3-d after the operation, the VAS (Visual analogue scale) was 4.64 ± 1.78 and 3.00 ± 1.71, and the ODI (Oswestry disability index) was 67.44 ± 11.37% and 56.73 ± 10.59% in TLF and NTLF group, respectively (P < 0.05). However, at 3-m after the operation, the differences in the VAS score and the ODI between groups were not statistically significant. The area of fascial edema was not significantly associated with the pre- and post-operative VAS or ODI, but was positively correlated with the vertebral body compression degree (R = 0.582, P = 0. 029).

conclusionResidual back pain after PVP is associated with TLF injury. Low BMI, hypertension and sarcopenia are risk factors of TLF injury, and sarcopenia may be the major factor.
