Retrospective Review of 181 Patients with Pathologic Vertebral Compression Fractures.
Article in Journal of the Pediatric Orthopaedic Society of North America, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Key Concepts: •Pathologic Vertebral Compression Fractures occur commonly in children with primary or secondary osteoporosis or due to primary site lesions, such as metastases.•Patients often have multiple fractures about the thoracolumbar and mid-thoracic regions of the spine.•Wedge and biconcave fractures were the most common fracture type at presentation and indicated an underlying disease not previously known in one-third of patients.•MRI is useful for distinguishing between benign fractures and malignancy as the etiology of the fracture.
