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

Background: This study retrospectively evaluates the effectiveness of robot-assisted percutaneous kyphoplasty (PKP) in the treatment of osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures (OVCF). Methods: Between October 2022 and October 2023, a total of 92 hospitalized OVCF patients at Shaanxi Provincial People's Hospital were divided into two groups: the traditional group ( Results: Compared to the traditional group, the robot-assisted group had fewer fluoroscopy frequency (11.25 ± 2.27 vs. 14.58 ± 3.63), fewer puncture needle adjustments (2.03 ± 0.25 vs. 5.51 ± 1.14), and a shorter operative time (36.53 ± 3.74 min vs. 42.25 ± 2.59 min, Conclusion: Robot-assisted PKP can reduce fluoroscopy exposure and bone cement leakage, and have a shorter surgery time.
