Bipedicular percutaneous kyphoplasty versus unipedicular percutaneous kyphoplasty in the treatment of asymmetric osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures: a case control study.
Article in BMC surgery, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
backgroundBipedicular/unipedicular percutaneous kyphoplasty are common treatments for OVCF, and there are no studies to show which is more beneficial for AVCF. The purpose of this study was to investigate the clinical efficacy of BPKP or UPKP in the treatment of AVCF.
methodsThe clinical data of AVCF patients treated by PKP were retrospectively analyzed. They were divided into two groups according to the surgical approach. General demographic data, perioperative complications, and general information related to surgery were recorded for both groups. The preoperative and postoperative vertebral height difference, vertebral local Cobb angle, lumbar pain VAS score and lumbar JOA score were counted for both groups. The above data were compared preoperatively, postoperatively and between the two groups.
results25 patients with AVCF were successfully included and all were followed up for at least 12 months, with no complications during the follow-up period. 10 patients in the BPKP group and 15 patients in the UPKP group, with no statistically significant differences in general information between the two groups. The VAS scores of patients in the BPKP group were lower than those in the UPKP group at 12 months after surgery, and the differences were statistically significant, and there were no statistically significant differences between the two groups at other follow-up time points. In the BPKP group, 80% of patients had symmetrical and more homogeneous bone cement dispersion. 50% of patients in the UPKP group had a lateral distribution of bone cement and uneven bone cement distribution, and the difference in bone cement distribution between the two groups was statistically significant.
conclusionFor the treatment of AVCF, the clinical efficacy of both surgical approaches is basically the same. The distribution of cement is more symmetrical and uniformly diffused in the BPKP group, and the clinical efficacy VAS score is lower in the long-term follow-up. Bipedicular percutaneous kyphoplasty is recommended for the treatment of AVCF. THE ETHICAL REVIEW BATCH NUMBER: XZXY-LJ-20161208-047.
