Combined use of SpineJack and microwave ablation with CT and C-arm in the treatment of vertebral fractures in oncologic patients: a case- based technical note.
Article in Oxford medical case reports, 2025. 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
This technical report highlights the combined treatment of bone metastasis using CT imaging and C-arm fluoroscopy to guide microwave thermal ablation and the SpineJack system. The integration of these imaging techniques was crucial for achieving local tumor control and restoring vertebral stability in cases of pathological fractures associated with metastatic disease. CT imaging ensured accurate tumor volume measurement and ablation, safe needle placement, and secure positioning of protective devices, while C-arm fluoroscopy provided real-time guidance for the correct positioning of the SpineJack implants, monitoring their expansion, and ensuring controlled cement application. Although the combination of these techniques has been increasingly utilized, this is the first detailed report to focus on their combined use in treating pathological fractures within a metastatic setting.
