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

Objective: Patients with osteoporotic vertebral fractures (OVFs) often suffer from residual low back pain (LBP) after percutaneous kyphoplasty (PKP). The purpose of this study was to identify risk factors for postoperative residual LBP and to develop a nomogram to predict the occurrence of residual LBP. Methods: We retrospectively reviewed 236 patients who underwent PKP for OVFs and had a minimum follow-up of 12 months. The mean age was 72.1 ± 6.3, 74.3% were female and 25.7% were male. Patients with LBP VAS scores ≥ 3.5 at the 12th month postoperatively were considered to have residual LBP. Risk factors for residual LBP were identified by univariate and multifactorial logistic regression analysis. Then, a predictive nomogram was constructed and validated using the bootstrap method. The discrimination, calibration, and clinical utility of the nomogram were assessed using a receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC), a calibration curve, and a decision curve analysis (DCA). Results: univariate and multifactorial logistic regression analysis identified depression ( Conclusions: Our study found that depression, intravertebral vacuum cleft, no anti-osteoporosis treatment, cement volume <3 ml and cement distribution represent independent risk factors for residual LBP. The nomogram containing the above five predictors can accurately predict the risk of residual LBP after surgery.
