Risk Factors for Residual Back Pain After Balloon Kyphoplasty for Osteoporotic Vertebral Fracture.
Article in Indian journal of orthopaedics, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Background: Balloon kyphoplasty (BKP) is a method for the management of osteoporotic vertebral body fracture (OVF). However, improvement in back pain (BP) is poor in some patients, also previous reports have not elucidated the exact incidence and risk factors for residual BP after BKP. We clarified the characteristics of residual BP after BKP in patients with OVF. Hypothesis: In this study, we hypothesize that some risk factors may exist for residual BP 2 years after the treatment of OVF with BKP. Patients and Methods: A multicenter cohort study was performed where patients who received BKP within 2 months of OVF injury were followed-up for 2 years. BP at 6 months after surgery and final observation was evaluated by Visual Analog Scale (VAS) score. Patients with a score of 40 mm or more were allocated to the residual BP group, and comparisons between the residual back pain group and the improved group were made for bone density, kyphosis, mobility of the fractured vertebral body, total spinal column alignment, and fracture type (fracture of the posterior element, pedicle fracture, presence or absence of posterior wall damage, etc.). Also, Short Form 36 (SF-36) for physical component summary (PCS) and mental component summary (MCS) at the final follow-up was evaluated in each radiological finding. Results: Of 116 cases, 79 (68%) were followed-up for 2 years. Two years after the BKP, 26 patients (33%) experienced residual BP. Neither age nor sex differed between the groups. In addition, there was no difference in bone mineral density, BKP intervention period (period from onset to BKP), and osteoporosis drug use. However, the preoperative height ratio of the vertebral body was significantly worse in the residual BP group (39.8% vs. 52.1%; Conclusion: The incidence of residual BP 2 years after BKP was 33% in the current study. The risk factor for residual BP after BKP was a preoperative vertebral body height ratio of 50% or less, which should be attentively assessed for the selection of a proper treatment scheme and to provide adequate stabilization. Level of Evidence: III.
