Effects of robot-assisted minimally invasive surgery on osteoporotic vertebral compression fracture: a systematic review, meta-analysis, and meta-regression of retrospective study.
Synthesis in Archives of osteoporosis, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
objectiveTo conduct a systematic review on the effect of robot-assisted minimally invasive surgery (R-MIS) on the clinical outcomes and complications of patients with osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures (OVCFs).
methodsThe researchers searched the papers published on PubMed, The Cochrane Library, Web of Science, Embase, Scopus, Ovid MEDLINE, Wiley Online Library, China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), Chinese biomedical literature service system (SinoMed), and China Medical Association Data. The standardized mean difference (SMD) or mean difference (MD), relative risk (RR), and 95% confidence interval (CI) were calculated. Besides, the data was merged through the random-effect model or common-effect model. A meta-regression mixed-effects single-factor model was utilized to analyze the sources of heterogeneity.
resultsTwelve studies were included, involving 1042 OVCFs cases. The prognosis of patients treated with R-MIS was significantly improved, such as Oswestry disability index (ODI) score (MD = -0.65, P = 0.0171), Cobb's angles (MD = -1.03, P = 0.0027), X-ray fluoroscopy frequency (SMD = -2.41, P < 0.0001), Length of hospital stay (MD = -0.33, P = 0.0002), and Cement leakage (RR = 0.37, P < 0.0001). However, no obvious improvement was found in the results of Visual analog scale (VAS) score (MD = -0.16, P = 0.1555), Volume of bone cement (MD = 0.22, P = 0.8339), and Operation time (MD = -3.20, P = 0.3411) after being treated by R-MIS. The meta-regression analysis demonstrated that R-MIS presented no significant impact on the covariates of VAS and Operation time.
conclusionR-MIS can significantly reduce the patients' ODI, Cobb's angles, X-ray fluoroscopy frequency, and Cement leakage ratio, and shorten the Length of hospital stay. Therefore, R-MIS may be an effective method to promote the patients' functional recovery, correct spinal deformity, reduce the X-ray fluoroscopy frequency, shorten the Length of hospital stay, and reduce the complications of OVCFs bone Cement leakage.
