Feasibility and Safety of Lateral and Posterolateral Percutaneous Vertebroplasty of Osteolytic C1-C2 Lesions under Computed Tomography Guidance and Local Anesthesia.
Article in Journal of vascular and interventional radiology : JVIR, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
purposeTo evaluate the safety and effectiveness of lateral or posterolateral percutaneous vertebroplasty (PVP) of osteolytic C1-C2 lesions performed under computed tomography (CT) guidance and local anesthesia. MATERIALS AND
methodsA retrospective study of 16 consecutive patients (11 females and 5 males; aged from 24 to 86 years; median age, 65.5 years) who underwent 17 lateral or posterolateral PVP was performed. Pain status was assessed using a visual analog scale (VAS). Patients were evaluated preprocedurally as baseline and at 24 hours and 1, 6, and 12 months postprocedurally, until death, or until loss to follow-up. The Oswestry Disability Index was used to evaluate the patients' functional disability preprocedurally. The adverse events were recorded using the Society of Interventional Radiology (SIR) classification.
resultsThe technical success was 100% (17/17) for a median Spinal Instability Neoplastic Score of 13.5 (interquartile range [IQR], 6.8, 20.3). Mean clinical follow-up was 10.1 months (range, 6-36 months; median, 19.5 months, IQR, 4, 35 months). Mean VAS score decreased significantly from 7.5 (SD ± 2.1) preprocedurally to 1.6 (SD ± 1.5) 24 hours postprocedurally, and 1.0 (SD ± 1.1), 1.5 (SD ± 1.0), and 0.5 (SD ± 1.5) at 1, 6, and 12 months, respectively (all P < .001). No severe adverse events were observed, but 3 cases of asymptomatic cement leakage were noted (SIR Grade 1; 17.6% [3/17]).
conclusionsLateral and posterolateral PVP performed under CT guidance and local anesthesia is safe and effective to treat symptomatic osteolytic C1-C2 lesions.
