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

Objective: To investigate the effects of postural reduction during balloon expansion in percutaneous kyphoplasty (PKP) for patients with acute osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures (OVCF). Methods: From January 2022 to December 2023, 75 patients with acute OVCF underwent PKP surgery at our institution and were followed up for at least 12 months. Patients were divided into Group A and Group B based on whether they underwent postural reduction during balloon expansion. Clinical evaluation included Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) and Visual Analog Scale (VAS) scores for back pain; Radiographic evaluation included lumbar lordosis angle (LL), anterior vertebral height (AVH) and rate (AVHr). Results: There were no significant differences in baseline clinical and radiographic parameters between the two groups ( Conclusion: PKP combined with postural reduction during balloon expansion is an effective treatment for acute OVCF, as it can further restore vertebral height, and regional lumbar alignment. Hence, it is recommended for clinical application in suitable patients.
