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

Vertebroplasty has emerged over the last 30 years as a common treatment for painful osteoporotic vertebral fractures. Patient selection and the time at which vertebroplasty is offered to the patient varies between centres and regions. Vertebroplasty has been studied in comparison to placebo intervention in five blinded trials. One such trial showed more benefit from vertebroplasty than placebo when the procedure was mostly performed within 3 weeks of fracture onset. Others showed no additional benefit from vertebroplasty compared to placebo when it was performed later in the natural history of the fracture. In this review, we examine data from blinded and open label randomised studies of vertebroplasty for evidence relating specifically to the use of early vertebroplasty for patients with severely painful acute osteoporotic fractures.
