Percutaneous vertebroplasty versus percutaneous kyphoplasty for osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures: an umbrella review protocol of systematic reviews and meta-analyses.
Article in BMJ open, 2024. 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
introductionSeveral systematic reviews and meta-analyses have confirmed that percutaneous vertebroplasty and percutaneous kyphoplasty showed safety and beneficial efficacy in patients with osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures. Whereas, there is wide variation among results, which are not conducive to the evaluation and use of clinicians. This study will investigate the efficacy and safety of percutaneous vertebroplasty and percutaneous kyphoplasty for the treatment of osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures, aiming to provide a more reliable evidence base for clinical practice in treating osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures. METHODS AND ANALYSIS: We will retrieve the relevant articles using the five databases(PubMed, Scopus, EMBASE, Cochrane Library and Web of Science) from inception to March 2023 for systematic review and meta-analysis comparing the overall safety and efficacy of percutaneous vertebroplasty and percutaneous kyphoplasty in patients with osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures. Three reviewers will screen citation titles, abstracts and evaluate the full text of each relevant citation based on prespecified eligibility criteria. Any discrepancies in decisions between reviewers will be resolved through discussion. We will assess the methodological quality of the included studies according to A MeaSurement Tool to Assess systematic Reviews 2 checklist. ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION: This umbrella review will inform clinical and policy decisions regarding the benefits and harms of percutaneous vertebroplasty versus percutaneous kyphoplasty for osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures. Neither primary data nor individual patient information will be collected, thus ethics approval is not required. Findings will be reported through a peer-reviewed publication, conference presentations and the popular press. PROSPERO REGISTRATION NUMBER: CRD42021268141.
