Safety and efficacy of robot-assisted percutaneous kyphoplasty under local anesthesia in a day-surgery setting for osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures.

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
Background and objectives: Osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures (OVCFs) represent a growing healthcare challenge in aging populations. This retrospective study evaluates the safety and efficacy of robot-assisted percutaneous kyphoplasty (PKP) performed under local anesthesia within a day-surgery framework. Methods: Clinical data from 127 patients with OVCFs who underwent robot-assisted PKP under local anesthesia in a day-surgery setting at the First People's Hospital of Kunshan between May 2022 and April 2024 were retrospectively analyzed. The cohort comprised 40 males and 87 females, with a mean age of 67.1 ± 6.8 years and a mean body mass index (BMI) of 22.5 ± 3.0 kg/m². The prevalence of comorbidities was as follows: diabetes ( Results: All procedures were successfully completed under local anesthesia with a mean operative time of 56.1 ± 10.2 minutes. The robotic system demonstrated high precision (first-attempt puncture success rate: 95.3%). Significant clinical improvements were observed: VAS scores decreased progressively from 7.9 ± 1.1 to 1.3 ± 0.3 at 6 months [ Conclusion: Robot-assisted PKP under local anesthesia in day surgery demonstrates excellent safety and efficacy for OVCF management. This approach combines robotic precision with accelerated recovery pathways, particularly benefiting elderly patients with comorbidities.
