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

STUDY

designRetrospective observational study. PURPOSE: To evaluate the modified osteoporotic fracture (mOF) scores in three treatment groups and compare imaging findings in patients treated and not treated according to the mOF score-based treatment recommendation. OVERVIEW OF LITERATURE: The osteoporotic fracture (OF) score was established by the AO Spine to guide therapeutic decisions. To enhance its applicability, a mOF score was recently introduced.

methodsConsecutive patients diagnosed with OFs at Fujieda Heisei Memorial Hospital were divided into three groups: nonsurgical therapy, balloon kyphoplasty (BKP), and open surgery groups. The mOF score was calculated, and the levels of independence and posttreatment imaging data were compared between patients treated and not treated according to the mOF score-based treatment recommendation.

resultsIn total, 118 patients were included (nonsurgical therapy, n=57; BKP, n=48; open surgery, n=13), of whom 100 (85%) received treatment consistent with the mOF score-based treatment recommendation. In the BKP and open surgery groups, the mOF scorebased treatment recommendations were consistent with the actual treatment in 93% of the patients. However, in the nonsurgical group, the mOF score-based treatment recommendation was not consistent with the actual treatment in 25% of the patients. In this group, patients not treated according to the mOF score had significantly shorter vertebral body height, greater local kyphosis, and smaller sacral slope after treatment than patients treated according to the mOF score-based treatment recommendation.

conclusionsIn the BKP and open surgery groups, the mOF scores were consistent with actual clinical selection. In the nonsurgical therapy group, patients not treated according to the mOF score-based treatment recommendation exhibited severe vertebral body deformity and a less well-balanced spine shape after treatment. The mOF score may help in selecting suitable treatments for OFs.
