Clinical significance of modified unilateral puncture percutaneous vertebroplasty guided by 3D- printed guides in the treatment of osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures: a retrospective study.

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
objectiveTo investigate the clinical significance of using 3D printing guides in modified unilateral puncture percutaneous vertebroplasty (PVP) for the treatment of osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures (OVCF), and to explore a new method for preventing paravertebral vein leakage during PVP in conjunction with a previous study of the optimal puncture-side bone cement/vertebral volume ratio(PSBCV/VV%).
methodsThis retrospective study analyzed 99 patients who underwent unilateral puncture PVP between January 2023 and December 2023. Patients were divided into a guide plate group (46 patients) and a conventional group (53 patients). The guide plate group underwent modified unilateral puncture PVP with the guidance of 3D printing guides, while the conventional group underwent unilateral puncture PVP using the conventional pedicle approach. The distribution of bone cement, surgical outcomes, and the occurrence of cement leakage into paravertebral veins were observed in both groups.
resultsThe guide plate group had significantly shorter operating time and required fewer fluoroscopies compared to the conventional group. The amount of bone cement volume (BCV) used in the guide plate group was higher, but the amount of bone cement volume on the puncture side(PSBCV), the PSBCV/VV%, and the rate of paravertebral vein leakage were lower in the guide plate group compared to the conventional group (P < 0.05). Within each group, significant improvements in anterior vertebral margin height, Cobb angle, visual analog scale (VAS) score, and Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) were observed at 1 day and 1 month postoperatively compared to preoperative values (P < 0.05).
conclusionUsing 3D printing guides in modified unilateral puncture PVP is a safe and effective method for treating OVCF. And it has the advantages of short operation time, less fluoroscopy, even distribution of bone cement, and a low rate of paravertebral vein leakage.
