Percutaneous Vertebroplasty With Cement-Augmented Hollow Screw Fixation for Kümmell Disease: A Case Report Highlighting Diagnostic Challenges and Surgical Outcomes.
Article in Cureus, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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 case report presents a 79-year-old male with Kümmell disease (KD) who experienced progressive lower back pain following a minor fall. Imaging confirmed L1 vertebral collapse with osteonecrosis and posterior ligamentous complex (PLC) injury (thoracolumbar injury classification and severity score (TLICS) score=5). The patient underwent successful percutaneous vertebroplasty with cement-augmented hollow screw fixation under local anesthesia, resulting in immediate pain relief and restored spinal stability. This case highlights the importance of early surgical intervention in KD patients with spinal instability. Accurate diagnosis requires a detailed medical history and awareness of this rare condition. Treatment should involve careful observation of conservative methods' efficacy, and surgical planning should be considered after vertebral fracture deterioration to avoid adverse effects.
