Predicting the Nonunion of the Acute Osteoporotic Vertebral Compression Fracture Following Low-Energy Injuries by Quantifying Vertebral Marrow Fat Fraction on T
Article in Orthopaedic surgery, 2025. 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
objectiveIncreased marrow fat fraction (MFF) of vertebrae was detected in patients with osteoporosis. However, MFF of the fractured vertebrae decreased significantly following the fracture. The aim of this study was to assess the predictive value of fractured vertebrae MFF quantified on T MATERIALS AND
methodsMedical records of 39 patients with OVCF, including a total of 60 fractured vertebrae, were reviewed retrospectively. Fractured vertebrae in the acute phase were grouped into the nonunion group (20 vertebrae) and the union group (40 vertebrae), based on the OVCF prognosis confirmed by computer tomography (CT). MFF of the fractured vertebrae was quantitatively assessed with the software Matlab on T
resultsThe ICC indicated that the repeatability of MFF measurement was excellent (all p < 0.001). The MFF (42.25% ± 26.61%) decreased significantly compared to the value before OVCF (79.84% ± 9.65%) (p < 0.001). The MFF of the fractured vertebrae was lower in the nonunion group (16.40% ± 15.65%) than in the union group (55.18% ± 20.93%) (p < 0.001). Binary logistic regression analysis indicated that MFF of fractured vertebrae could independently predict the prognosis of acute OVCF (p < 0.001). ROC analysis indicated the area under the curve was 0.928 (95% CI, 0.831-0.979, p < 0.0001).
