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

This study introduced a novel point "O" puncture approach for percutaneous kyphoplasty (PKP) in patients with L4 or L5 osteoporotic vertebral compression fracture (OVCF) and evaluated its clinical and radiographic outcomes. Between September 2019 and December 2020, we compared the clinical and radiographic outcomes in 31 cases (36 vertebrae) using the "O" entry point PKP intervention (O-PKP) and 31 cases (37 vertebrae) using transverse the process-pedicle approach PKP intervention (T-PKP). No serious postoperative complications were observed in any of the participants. Only two T-PKP patients experienced intervertebral disc space leakage. Compared with the T-PKP patients, the O-PKP patients showed shorter operative time and fluoroscopy times (P < 0.05), comparable blood loss and cement volume (P > 0.05), improved VAS and ODI scores at the final follow-up (P < 0.05), better increases in the vertebral compression ratio (P < 0.05), comparable Cobb angle (P > 0.05), comparable anteroposterior bone cement distribution, enhanced bilateral bone cement distribution (P < 0.05), and larger sagittal and transverse angles (P < 0.05). Herein, O-PKP was indicated for patients with L4 or L5 OVCF. This puncture approach showed significant advantages over T-PKP not only in terms of pain relief, surgery and fluoroscopy times but also in the puncture angle, vertebral reconstruction, and symmetrical cement distribution.
