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

objectiveThis meta-analysis investigates the prevalence and risk factors for new vertebral compression fractures (NVCF) following percutaneous vertebral augmentation (PVA) in patients with osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures (OVCF).

methodsWe searched PubMed, Cochrane Library, Embase, and Web of Science (up to June 2025) and screened case-control and cohort studies that utilized multivariate logistic regression analysis to examine the prevalence and risk factors of NVCF after PVA in OVCF patients. The meta-analysis was performed according to the PRISMA guidelines. After data extraction, STATA 15.0 was used to calculate the pooled odds ratio (OR) and 95% confidence interval (CI).

resultsThis meta-analysis included 18 studies involving 7,743 patients, of whom 1,336 developed NVCF postoperatively, with a prevalence of 17.25%. The meta-analysis revealed that the risk factors for new fractures after PVA in OVCF patients were associated with Gender [OR = 1.99, 95%CI (1.50, 2.64), P < 0.001], Age [OR = 1.09, 95%CI (1.02, 1.17), P = 0.01], Bone mineral density (BMD) [OR = 0.74, 95%CI (0.63, 0.86), P < 0.001],Bone cement disc leakage [OR = 2.94, 95%CI (1.64, 5.28), P < 0.001], Lack of anti-osteoporosis treatment [OR = 2.93, 95%CI (2.14, 4.01), P < 0.001], Thoracolumbar junction (TL junction) [OR = 3.50, 95%CI (2.06, 5.93), P < 0.001], Hounsfield unit value (HU value) [OR = 0.96, 95%CI (0.95, 0.97), P < 0.001], Use of steroids [OR = 3.94, 95%CI (2.16, 7.21), P < 0.001], Number of initial fractures [OR = 2.21, 95%CI (1.17, 4.14), P = 0.01], Multiple vertebral fractures [OR = 1.71, 95%CI (1.14, 2.57), P = 0.01], Fracture history [OR = 7.72, 95%CI (3.09, 9.30), P < 0.001], Smoking [OR = 1.62, 95%CI (1.20, 2.19), P < 0.001], and Diabetes [OR = 1.98, 95%CI (1.50, 2.61), P < 0.001]. However, no association was found with Body mass index (BMI), Bone cement leakage, and Shape of bone cement.

conclusionThis study confirms that NVCF following PVA for OVCF is multifactorial, with most risk factors identifiable preoperatively. The clinical value of this knowledge lies in its application to guide postoperative prevention, thereby optimizing management quality through personalized follow-up and intervention.
