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

purposeThe aim of this study was to evaluate treatment efficacy of percutaneous injection of hydroxyapatite-osteoconductive-cement in patients with spinal aneurysmal bone cysts. MATERIALS AND

methodsThe study was designed as a retrospective observational clinical study. We included patients who were diagnosed with of spinal aneurysmal bone cyst, at our institution between 2013 and 2020, and treated with percutaneous injection of osteoconductive cement: "Cerament"

resultsOur study included nine patients, two children and seven adults. Three different types of approaches were applied: (single pedicle approach in 3 patients; double pedicle approach in 2 patients; while in the remaining cases, a multiple access approach was used. VAS score decreased from 8.5 ± 0.5 before treatment to 4.1 ± 0.9 at 6-months-follow up. All of the patients reacted well to treatment, with none neurological complications, complete loss of pain and achieved osteosclerosis as radiological marker of treatment success.

conclusionTreatment of symptomatic spinal ABC's with hydroxyapatite cement is effective to achieve complete pain reduction and sclerosis.
