A Pain That is Easily Overlooked: Referred Pain Caused by OVCF.
Article in Journal of pain research, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
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.
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
Purpose: The objective of this study was to analyze the clinical characteristics and the therapeutic effects of treatment at our spinal center in OVCF patients associated with referred pain. The underlying goals were to deepen the understanding of referred pain caused by OVCFs, improve the currently low early diagnosis rate of OVCFs, and improve the effectiveness of treatment. Methods: The patients who had referred pain from OVCFs and met the inclusion criteria were retrospectively analyzed. All patients were treated with percutaneous kyphoplasty (PKP). Visual analog scale (VAS) scores and Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) were used to evaluate the therapeutic effect at different time points. Results: There were 11 males (19.6%) and 45 females (80.4%). Their corresponding mean bone mineral density (BMD) value was -3.3 ± 0.4. The regression coefficient of BMD in the linear regression equation was -4.51 (P<0.001). According to the classification system for referred pain in OVCFs, there were 27 cases of type A (48.2%), 12 cases of type B (21.2%), 8 cases of type C (14.3%), 3 cases of type D (5.4%), and 6 cases of type E (10.7%). All patients were followed up for at least 6 months, and both VAS scores and ODI were found to be significantly better postoperatively than preoperatively (P<0.001). There was no significant difference in VAS scores and ODI between different types preoperatively or 6 months postoperatively (P > 0.05). Within each type, there were significant differences in VAS scores and ODI between the pre- and postoperative timepoints (P < 0.05). Conclusion: Attention should be paid to referred pain in OVCF patients, which is not uncommon in clinical practice. Our summary of the characteristics of referred pain caused by OVCFs can improve the early diagnosis rate of OVCFs patients and provide a reference for their prognosis after PKP.
