Three cases of kyphoplasty performed in the lateral position due to significant comorbidities.
Article in Surgical neurology international, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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: More than 700,000 people suffer from vertebral compression fractures attributed to osteoporosis, metastatic disease, or trauma each year in the United States, and undergo kyphoplasty. They are typical. These often undergo kyphoplasty to treat resultant pain or new neurological deficits. Here, we present three patients who, due to significant comorbidities, underwent kyphoplasty performed in the lateral decubitus rather than the prone position. Case Description: Three females, two with metastatic cancer and one with osteoporosis, presented with lumbar compression fractures and new accompanying pain and/or neurological deficits. Due to significant accompanying comorbidities, kyphoplasty was safely and effectively performed in all three patients utilizing the lateral decubitus rather than the prone position. Conclusion: Although vertebral kyphoplasties are typically performed in the prone position, here, we present three patients who, due to significant comorbidities, safely and effectively underwent kyphoplasties performed in the lateral decubitus position.
