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

objectiveThis study aimed to evaluate the clinical effect of different vertebral body heights restoration rate after percutaneous kyphoplasty (PKP) for the treatment of osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures (OVCF).

methodsThe patients were divided into two groups according to the height restoration rate of the anterior edge of the vertebral body fracture after PKP operation using X-Ray imaging. The group A was below 80%, and the group B was above 80%. Clinical preoperative and postoperative efficacy (1st day, 1st month, 6th month, and 12th month after surgery) were evaluated according to VAS, Oswestry Disability Index(ODI), Quality of Life Questionnaire of the European Foundation for Osteoporosis(QUALEFFO), and Back Pain Life Disorder Questionnaire(RQD). Simultaneously, the preoperative and postoperative local Cobb angles and changes in the injured vertebrae in the two groups were calculated and analyzed.

resultsThe postoperative Cobb angle in group A was significantly higher than that in group B. The correction rate in group B was significantly better than that in group A. The VAS, ODI, QUALEFFO, and RQD scores of group B patients were significantly lower than those of patients in group A at each follow-up time point. The correlation coefficients of vertebral body height restoration rate and VAS, ODI, QUALEFFO, and RQD scores at the last follow-up were - 0.607 (P < 0.01), -0.625 (P < 0.01), -0.696 (P < 0.01), and - 0.662 (P < 0.01), respectively.

conclusionsThe results of the correlation analysis between the vertebral body height restoration rate and the above clinical efficacy scores show that increasing the vertebral body anterior height restoration rate is beneficial for pain relief and improves the clinical efficacy of patients. Simultaneously, improving the height restoration rate of the anterior edge of the vertebral body and restoring the normal spinal structure is beneficial for reducing the incidence of refracture of the adjacent vertebral body.
