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

This study aimed to explore the biomechanical effects on adjacent vertebra of thoracolumbar Osteoporotic Vertebra Compression Fracture (OVCF) after Percutaneous Kyphoplasty (PKP) with intraoperative intradiscal cement leakage (ICL) by applying a Finite-Element Analysis. We collected pre- and post-operative computer tomography (CT) images of a 71-year-old female patient with single T12 OVCF, who underwent an intraoperative cement leakage into the T12-L1 disc. Three-dimensional finite element models of thoracolumbar spine (T10-L2) were built with the support of Materialise Interactive Medical Image Control System (MIMICS) and ABAQUS software. The stress on adjacent vertebrae and endplates under the uniform compressive pressure (0.3 MPa) and during different loading moments were analyzed. The three-dimensional finite element models reveal an asymmetrical distribution of von Mises stresses on the adjacent endplate unaffected by the surgical intervention. The maximum von Mises stress on adjacent vertebral bodies increased during different loading conditions, especially for lateral bending and rotation loading conditions, whereas the maximum von Mises stress on distal non-treated vertebrae decreased on anteflexion and backward extension loading conditions. Post-operative adjacent vertebra compression fractures after PKP with intraoperative intradiscal cement leakage (ICL) may be closely related to the biomechanical changes of adjacent vertebrae of thoracolumbar OVCF, and it may increase the risk of postoperative fracture.
