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: This study investigated the clinical value and safety of G-arm fluoroscopy-assisted percutaneous vertebroplasty in treating spinal compression fractures with vertebral posterior wall destruction. Methods: 68 patients were divided into a study group (37 patients) and a control group (31 patients). The study group was treated with percutaneous vertebroplasty assisted by G-arm machine, and the control group was treated with percutaneous vertebroplasty assisted by C-arm machine. Results: At 5 days after operation, there was significant difference between the two groups, and the control group was smaller than the study group. Oswestry disability index (ODI) ODI and Visual analogue scale (VAS) scores of the two groups were significantly lower than those before operation, and ODI and VAS scores of the control group were significantly lower than those of the study group at 5 days after operation. In the control group, bone cement spread to bilateral upper and lower endplates in 21 segments, and bone cement injection volume, which was significantly higher than that in the study group. The operation time of the control group was longer than that of the study group, the above differences were statistically significant (P<0.05). Conclusion: G-arm fluoroscopy-assisted percutaneous vertebroplasty can effectively relieve pain symptoms, improve postoperative function, and result in minimal surgical trauma with faster recovery.
