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
backgroundResidual back pain (RBP) is one of the complications following percutaneous vertebroplasty (PVP) in older people with osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures (OVCFs). The vertebral bone quality (VBQ) score obtained from magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) can be used to evaluate bone quality. The objective of this study aimed to explore the potential relationship between the VBQ score and RBP after PVP.
methodsFrom January 2018 to January 2022, patients with OVCFs who underwent PVP in our hospital were retrospectively reviewed. Each patient's lumbar VBQ score was recorded. The RBP was defined as a visual analog scale (VAS) score ≥ 4 for back pain postoperatively. Other variables included demographic, clinical, radiological, and surgical data. The univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were used to determine the independent risk factors.
resultsThe incidence of RBP was 8.0% among 598 patients. The results of the multivariate regression analysis showed that preoperative VBQ score (OR 3.295, P < 0.001), BMD (OR 0.545, P = 0.007), lumbodorsal fascia contusion (OR 4.297, P = 0.034), and cement distribution (OR 4.556, P = 0.006) were risk factors associated with RBP after PVP.
conclusionsThe preoperative high VBQ score was an independent risk factor associated with RBP after PVP. Moreover, other risk factors included low BMD, lumbodorsal fascia contusion, and cement distribution. The MRI-VBQ score may serve as a useful tool for assisting in evaluating patients at risk of RBP following PVP.
