Intraoperative complications of vertebral body stenting system.
Article in Surgical neurology international, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Background: Vertebral body stenting systems (VBSs) are superior to balloon kyphoplasty for performing vertebral augmentation and height restoration. However, VBS may likely result in more material-related complications that have been under-reported. Here, an 84-year-old female's vertebral stents "toppled over" before the filling cement was fully applied, thus necessitating an additional posterior fusion. Case Description: An 84-year-old female presented with low back pain after a fall. Dynamic standing and decubitus X-rays revealed a vertebral compression fracture at T12 resulting in an intravertebral vacuum cleft (i.e., the lowermost level of diffuse idiopathic skeletal hyperostosis). When the VBS was performed, the stents "toppled over" just after removing the balloon catheters; we successfully restored with the cement volume in one stent but not the other, thus warranting an additional posterior fusion to maintain stability. Conclusion: The proper injection of cement into a VBS requires dual correct stent positioning, and careful control of requisite stent expansion. In an 84-year-old female with a T12 vertebral body fracture and a remarkable vacuum cleft, the VBS procedure resulted in an inadvertent injection into one stent thus warranting a secondary posterior fusion.
