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

The objective of this study was to investigate the impact of the thoracolumbar kyphotic Cobb angle on surgical prognosis following percutaneous kyphoplasty (PKP) in patients with thoracolumbar osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures (OVCF). We collected clinical data of 204 patients with OVCF of the thoracolumbar segment and analyzed them retrospectively. All patients were divided into four groups based on their postoperative thoracolumbar kyphotic Cobb angle. The basic clinical data, visual analog scale (VAS) score, and Oswestry disability index (ODI) score were subjected to statistical analysis and comparison among the groups. There was no significant difference in the general information of the patients in each group. In the post-operative period, patients in Groups A and B demonstrated significant reductions in VAS and ODI scores. The follow-up results at all time points were superior to those observed in Groups B and C. Patients in Group A exhibited the best ODI scores, which essentially recovered to the optimal state one month after surgery. The present study demonstrated a correlation between the thoracolumbar kyphotic Cobb angle and the prognosis of PKP surgery. Furthermore, the 0-5° thoracolumbar kyphotic Cobb angle was found to facilitate more rapid and superior patient recovery.
