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

Introduction: Sacroplasty is a minimally invasive treatment option for severe pain due to sacral insufficiency fracture. Cement leakage is a known risk of sacroplasty. Despite the elevated risk to the L5 nerve root and lumbosacral trunk from cement leakage anterior to the sacral ala, there are no reports regarding surgical management of this complication. Technical Note: We describe an anterior retroperitoneal transpsoas approach to the sacral ala to remove cement leakage causing acute L5 radiculopathy in a 57-year-old gentleman who had undergone sacroplasty for sacral insufficiency fracture (Denis zone 1). The approach provides rapid and excellent visualization of the sacral ala without manipulation of the iliac vessels. Conclusions: We recommend that surgery be considered in a timely fashion, to utilize neuromonitoring, and that surgeons be aware of the considerable variability of the neurologic structures that will be encountered, which is described in this technical note.
