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

Background: Osteoporotic vertebral compression fracture (OVCF) has become a health issue of worldwide concern. Percutaneous kyphoplasty (PKP) is one of the main surgical methods for OVCFs. This study aimed to evaluate and compare the clinical efficacy and safety of PKP with high- and low-viscosity bone cement for OVCFs. Methods: Totally 62 patients with single-level OVCF were enrolled in this study from December 2018 to April 2021. Among them, 32 cases underwent PKP with high-viscosity bone cement, while 30 cases underwent PKP with low-viscosity bone cement. Visual analog scale (VAS) scores and Oswestry disability index (ODI) scores were used in the pre- and post-operative period to assess patients' rehabilitation. Compression rates of anterior vertebra height (AVH) and posterior vertebra height (PVH) were analyzed to evaluate the restoration of vertebra height. Leakage rates and locations were recorded to show clinical safety. Results: VAS and ODI scores both significantly improved in 2 groups at 1 day, 1 month, and 3 months after surgery. Compression rates of AVH and PVH at 1 day and 3 months after PKP were lower than those before surgery. However, there was no significant difference in VAS scores, ODI scores, and compression rates between both groups. However, PKP with high-viscosity bone cement achieved a lower bone cement leakage rate significantly, which showed the safety of high-viscosity bone cement in PKP. Conclusions: PKP with high- and low-viscosity bone cement both improved the recovery of patients and restored vertebra heights. Notably, PKP with high-viscosity bone cement can achieve favorable clinical outcomes as well as lower bone cement leakage rate.
