Risk factors of costal pain of thoracic osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures: a multicenter retrospective analysis.
Article in Scientific reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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
The phenomenon of costal pain of thoracic osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures (OVCFs) has been reported. However, to our knowledge, few reports with a larger sample size have analyzed the risk factors of costal pain of thoracic OVCFs. The aim of this study is to evaluate the risk factors of the costal pain in thoracic OVCFs patients. A total of 425 consecutive OVCFs patients were included in this retrospective study. Data on the clinical and radiological parameters were obtained and evaluated. Independent t-tests and chi-square tests were used in univariate analysis and multivariate logistic regression analysis was performed for statistically significant variables. P < 0.05 was considered to indicate statistical significance. Ultimately, 67 of 425 OVCFs patients with costal pain of were divided into Group A (costal pain group) and the rest into Group B (non-costal pain group). In the univariate analysis, the risk factors of costal pain of OVCFs included fracture level, TA, ratio of injured vertebral width, and reduction ratio of foraminal area (P < 0.001, P = 0.031, P = 0.003, P < 0.001, respectively). Multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that independent risk factors of costal pain of thoracic OVCFs were middle thoracic vertebra [odds ratio (OR) = 5.520, P < 0.001], ratio of injured vertebral width [(OR = 76.138, P = 0.025)] and reduction ratio of foraminal area [(OR = 1.019, P = 0.027)]. The independent risk factors of costal pain of thoracic OVCFs were middle thoracic vertebra, ratio of injured vertebral width and reduction ratio of foraminal area.
