Geriatric spine fractures - Demography, changing trends, challenges and special considerations: A narrative review.
Article in Journal of clinical orthopaedics and trauma, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 15 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
The aim of this manuscript was to summarize the demography and changing trends of geriatric spinal injuries and to enumerate the challenges and special considerations in the care of geriatric spinal injuries. PubMed, Scopus and Embase databases were searched for literature on geriatric spine fractures using MeSH terms 'aged', 'aged, 80 and over', 'elderly', 'spinal fracture/epidemiology', spinal fracture/therapy∗' and keywords pertaining to the same. The search results were screened for appropriate articles and reviewed. There is a high community prevalence of elderly vertebral fractures ranging from 18% to as high as 51%. The proportion of older patients among the spinal injured is rising as well. There is a higher chance of missing spinal injuries in the elderly and clinical guidelines may not be applicable to this patient group. Classification and surgical treatment are different from younger adult counterparts as the elderly osteoporotic spine behaves differently biomechanically. There is a high incidence of respiratory complications both for surgically and conservatively managed groups. Older age generally is associated with a higher complication rate including mortality.
