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
Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of visual health education (VHE) intervention in the perioperative management of older adults undergoing percutaneous kyphoplasty (PKP) for osteoporotic vertebral fractures (OVFs). Methods: A prospective cohort of 96 patients (aged ≥65 years) scheduled for primary PKP between June 2024 and January 2025 were enrolled. Participants were allocated to a control group (n = 46) receiving conventional verbal education or an intervention group (n = 50) receiving VHE via instructional videos. The VHE program encompassed disease-specific knowledge, surgical procedures, and postoperative rehabilitation. Outcome measures included sleep quality (PSQI), anxiety (SAS), blood pressure stability, patient satisfaction, and anti-osteoporosis medication adherence. Results: The VHE group demonstrated significant improvements across all perioperative metrics compared to controls. Preoperative sleep quality was superior (PSQI: 7.85 ± 2.16 vs 15.63 ± 3.62, Conclusion: Disease-specific visual health education significantly enhances perioperative experiences, improves psychological well-being, stabilizes physiological parameters, and promotes long-term treatment adherence in older OVF patients undergoing PKP. This approach represents a valuable adjunct to standard perioperative care, with the potential to reduce complications and improve overall clinical outcomes.
