Efficacy of different spinal orthoses for pain management, functional improvement, and quality of life in osteoporotic vertebral fractures: a mini review.
Review in Frontiers in rehabilitation sciences, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Osteoporotic vertebral fractures (OVFs) significantly impair the quality of life in older adults. Spinal orthoses are commonly used, but their effectiveness is debated. Thus, we aimed to evaluate the impact of different spinal orthoses on pain, functionality, and quality of life in patients with OVFs. A review of PubMed, Scopus, PEDro, and Cochrane Library was conducted, covering studies from 2000 to 2024. Studies assessing spinal orthoses' effects on pain, functionality, and quality of life in adults with OVFs were included. Ten studies involving 970 participants were included. Several studies reported significant improvements in pain, functionality, and quality of life with spinal orthoses. Dynamic hyperextension orthoses, such as Spinomed® and Spinfast®, showed potential benefits, particularly in enhancing trunk muscle strength. In conclusion, spinal orthoses may help manage pain and improve functionality and quality of life in OVFs. However, further high-quality trials are needed to confirm their efficacy.
