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

purposeSubsequent vertebral fracture (SVF) is a severe advent event of percutaneous vertebral augmentation (PVA). However, the incidence and risk factors of SVF following PVA for OVCF in postmenopausal women remain unclear. This research aims to investigative the incidence and risk factors of SVF after PVA for OVCF in postmenopausal women.

methodsWomen who underwent initial PVA for OVCF between August 2019 and December 2021 were reviewed. Univariate logistic regression analysis was performed to identify possible risk factors of SVF, and independent risk factors were determined by multivariate logistic regression.

resultsA total of 682 women after menopause were enrolled in the study. Of these women, 100 cases had an SVF after PVA, with the incidence of 14.66%. Univariate logistic regression analysis demonstrated that age (p = 0.001), body mass index (BMI) (p < 0.001), steroid use (p = 0.008), history of previous vertebral fracture (p < 0.001), multiple vertebral fracture (p = 0.033), postoperative wedge angle (p = 0.003), and HU value (p < 0.001) were significantly correlated with SVF following PVA. Furthermore, BMI (OR [95%CI] = 0.892 [0.825 - 0.965]; p = 0.004), steroid use (OR [95%CI] = 3.029 [1.211 - 7.574]; p = 0.018), history of previous vertebral fracture (OR [95%CI] = 1.898 [1.148 - 3.139]; p = 0.013), postoperative wedge angle (OR [95%CI] = 1.036 [1.004 - 1.070]; p = 0.028), and HU value (OR [95%CI] = 0.980 [0.971 - 0.990]; p < 0.001) were identified as independent risk factors of SVF after PVA by multivariate logistic regression analysis.

conclusionsThe incidence of SVF following PVA for OVCF in postmenopausal women was 14.66%. BMI, steroid use, history of previous vertebral fracture, postoperative wedge angle, and HU value were independent risk factors of SVF after PVA for OVCF in postmenopausal women.
