Effectiveness and Safety of Vertebral Body Stenting for Acute Spinal Compression Fractures due to Primary Osteoporosis: A Multicenter Prospective Clinical Study.
Article in Spine surgery and related research, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Introduction: Segmental spinal deformity results from vertebral compression fracture (VCF) and progressive collapse of the fractured vertebral body (VB). The VB stenting (VBS) system Methods: Herein, 88 patients, 25 men and 63 women aged 77.4±8.3 years, with low back pain, numerical rating scale (NRS) score of ≥4, and mean VB compression percentage (VBCP) of <60% were enrolled. The primary endpoints were the VBCP restoration rate and reduction in low back pain 1 month and 7 days after VBS surgery, respectively. Secondary endpoints included changes in VBCP, NRS pain score, Beck index, kyphosis angle, and quality of life according to the short form 36 (v2) score. Safety was assessed as adverse events, device malfunctions, and new vertebral fractures. Results: Overall, 70 patients completed the study. VBS surgery increased the restoration rates of anterior and midline VBCP by 31.7%±26.5% (lower 95% confidence intervals (CI): 26.8) and 31.8%±24.6% (lower 95% CI: 27.2), respectively, and the reduction in NRS pain score was -4.5±2.4 (upper 95% CI: -4.0). As these changes were greater than the predetermined primary endpoint values (20% for VBCP and -2 for NRS score), they were judged clinically significant; these changes were maintained throughout the 12-month follow-up (p<0.001). Likewise, significant improvement was observed in the Beck index, kyphosis angle, and quality of life score, which were maintained throughout the follow-up. There were three serious adverse events. New fractures occurred in 12 patients-all in the adjacent VB. Conclusions: VBS surgery effectively restored the collapsed VB, relieved low back pain, and was tolerable in patients with acute osteoporotic VB fracture.
