Thoracolumbar Osteoporotic Vertebral Compression Fracture Treatment by Unilateral Percutaneous Vertebroplasty Using Curved Diffusion Needle.
Article in Indian journal of orthopaedics, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Objective: To investigate the clinical effect of unilateral puncture vertebroplasty with curved diffusion needle (CDN) in the treatment of thoracolumbar osteoporotic vertebral compression fracture (OVCFs). Methods: We used the method of a retrospective study. The clinical data of 38 patients with OVCFs treated by unilateral puncture vertebroplasty with curved diffusion needle from January 2021 to January 2022 were analyzed. The operation time and the amount of bone cement injected were recorded to observe the leakage and dispersion of bone cement during the operation and the incidence of vertebral re-fracture at the last follow-up. Visual analog scale (VAS) and Oswestry disability index (ODI) were used to evaluate the pain and functional improvement before and after surgery. Results: All patients successfully completed the operation. The operation time was 31.2 ± 5.1 min, and the bone cement injection volume was 4.8 ± 1.1 ml. During the operation, three patients had bone cement leakage, and the leakage rate was 7.8%. The bone cement dispersion was excellent in 31 cases, among which seven cases were good; the postoperative follow-up time was 3-10 months, with an average of 6.3 months; no vertebral body re-fracture occurred. VAS score and ODI at 1d after the operation and at the last follow-up were significantly improved compared with those before the operation, and the difference was statistically significant ( Conclusions: Unilateral puncture vertebroplasty for the treatment of thoracolumbar OVCFs can obtain good bone cement distribution, safety and does not increase complications, and the clinical effect is satisfactory.
