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

objectiveTo evaluate the effectiveness of PVP (PVP) in treating osteoporotic spinal fractures in the elderly and analyze the risk factors for postoperative deep vein thrombosis (DVT) in the lower extremities.

methodsA total of 100 elderly patients with osteoporotic spinal fractures, treated between August 2019 and July 2021, were divided into two groups: PVP (research group, n=50) and conservative treatment (control group, n=50). Outcome measures, including injured vertebrae, pain levels, and treatment outcomes, were retrospectively analyzed. Patients who underwent PVPs were further categorized based on the presence of lower extremity DVT one month post-surgery. Logistic regression analysis was used to identify risk factors for post-surgical lower limb DVT.

resultsPVP resulted in a significantly smaller posterior convexity angle of the injured spine and higher anterior, midline, and posterior edges of the injured spine compared to conservative treatment (P<0.001). Patients in the research group had significantly lower visual analogue scale (VAS) scores and higher treatment efficiency compared to those in the conservative treatment group (all P<0.05). Nine cases of lower extremity DVT were observed after PVP. Logistic regression analysis identified age, body mass, smoking, and diabetes as independent risk factors for post-surgical lower extremity DVT.

conclusionPVP improves spinal function and relieves pain in elderly patients with osteoporotic fractures. However, age, body mass, smoking, and diabetes are independent risk factors for postoperative lower extremity DVT.
