1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

objectiveThe purpose of this study was to evaluate the occurrence and potential causes of residual back pain following percutaneous vertebral augmentation (percutaneous vertebroplasty/percutaneous kyphoplasty) in patients with osteoporotic vertebral compression fracture.

methodsTo investigate the occurrence and risk factors of residual back pain, a comprehensive search was conducted in several databases including PubMed, Web of Science, Embase, Cochrane Library, China Knowledge Resource Integrated Database (CNKI), Chinese Biomedical Database (CBM), Wanfang Database, and Weipu Database (VIP) from the inception until October 10, 2023. After applying inclusion and exclusion criteria, the articles were filtered. The quality of the included studies was assessed independently by two investigators. Stata18.0 was used for the meta-analysis.

resultsIn total, 1900 articles were screened, and data from 13 studies was used in the meta-analysis. After percutaneous vertebral augmentation for patients with osteoporotic vertebral compression fracture, the occurrence of residual back pain was 19% (95% confidence interval 14-23%, I

conclusionThere was a 19% prevalence of residual back pain among osteoporotic vertebral compression fracture patients with percutaneous vertebral augmentation. Patients with osteoporotic vertebral compression fracture may experience residual back pain after percutaneous vertebral augmentation due to a combination of intravertebral vacuum cleft, unsatisfactory bone cement distribution, recurrent fracture, thoracolumbar fascia injury, insufficient bone cement injection volume, fracture nonunion, bone mineral density, and vertebral height recovery rate.
