Clinical efficacy of percutaneous vertebroplasty versus percutaneous kyphoplasty treating osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures with kyphosis.
Article in European journal of trauma and emergency surgery : official publication of the European Trauma Society, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
purposeThis study aimed to investigate the clinical efficacy of percutaneous vertebroplasty (PVP) and percutaneous kyphoplasty (PKP) in treating osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures (OVCFs) with kyphosis.
methodsThe clinical data included 63 patients in the PVP group and 70 in the PKP group. The study assessed the pain visual analog scale (VAS), Oswestry Disability Index (ODI), wedge angle (WA), local kyphotic angle (LKA), and vertebral height.
resultsThe operative time was significantly less in the PVP group (p < 0.05). Meanwhile, more bone cement was injected into the PKP group (p < 0.05), with significantly higher surgical costs (p > 0.05). Post-operative VAS, ODI, WA, LKA, and vertebral height were significantly improved in PVP and PKP groups compared with pre-operative measurements (p < 0.05). The results revealed insignificant VAS and ODI improvement differences between the two groups at each follow-up time (p > 0.05). Vertebral height, WA, and LKA improved more significantly in the PKP group at day 1 and 3 months post-operatively (p < 0.05), with insignificant group differences at subsequent time points (p > 0.05). The improvements in VAS were unrelated to those in WA, LKA, or vertebral height in either group (p > 0.05). The improvement in VAS was unrelated to the amount of bone cement injected (p > 0.05); the PKP group demonstrated a lower incidence of cement leakage (12.9%; p < 0.05).
conclusionPVP and PKP can restore partial vertebral height and improve kyphosis with similar clinical outcomes. PVP has a shorter operating time, is more economical, and can represent a therapeutic choice.
