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

objectivesTo verify the clinical significance of the best puncture-side bone cement/vertebral volume ratio (PSBCV/VV%) and bone cement leakage in paravertebral veins during vertebroplasty.

methodsThis was a retrospective analysis of a total of 210 patients from September 2021 to December 2022, who were divided into an observation group (110 patients) and a control group (100 patients). In the observation group, patients' preoperative computed tomography (CT) data were imported into Mimics software, and the VV was calculated using the three-dimensional (3D) reconstruction function. Then, based on the best PSBCV/VV% of 13.68% determined in a previous study, the optimal PSBCV to be injected during vertebroplasty was calculated. In the control group, vertebroplasty was performed directly using the conventional method. The incidence of cement leakage into paravertebral veins was observed postoperatively in both groups.

resultsThere were no statistically significant differences (P > 0.05) in the evaluated indicators between the two groups pre- or postoperatively, including the anterior vertebral margin height, mid-vertebral height, injured vertebral Cobb angle, visual analogue scale (VAS) score, and Oswestry Disability Index (ODI). Intragroup comparisons showed improvements in the anterior vertebral height, mid-vertebral height, injured vertebral Cobb angle, VAS score, and ODI after surgery compared with before surgery (P < 0.05). In the observation group, there were 3 cases of cement leakage into the paravertebral veins, for a leakage rate of 2.7%. In the control group, there were 11 cases of cement leakage into the paravertebral veins, for a leakage rate of 11%. The difference in the leakage rate between the two groups was statistically significant (P = 0.016).

conclusionIn vertebroplasty, preoperative VV calculations using Mimics software, combined with calculation of the PSBCV according to the best PSBCV/VV% (13.68%), can effectively prevent leakage of bone cement into paravertebral veins and further prevent serious life-threatening complications such as pulmonary embolism.
