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

Introduction: This study aimed to investigate the clinical and radiological outcome of "indirect decompression" using lateral-posterior combined surgery for osteoporotic vertebral fracture (OVF) with neurological symptoms. Methods: A total of 17 patients who underwent lateral and posterior combined indirect decompressive spinal reconstruction (LP-IDR) for single-level OVF with neurological symptoms were included in this study. The neurological symptoms (sensory disturbance and muscle weakness) and imaging findings (local angle and height of the fracture segment and bone fragment occupancy in the spinal canal) were investigated preoperatively, postoperatively, and at the 1-year follow-up. Results: Muscle weakness was observed preoperatively in ten patients. Nine patients had complete recovery of muscle weakness ( Conclusions: LP-IDR for OVF with neurological symptoms provided sufficient neurological improvement with expansion of the spinal canal over time.
