Robot-Assisted Kyphoplasty Improves Clinical and Radiological Features Better Than Fluoroscopy-Assisted Kyphoplasty in the Treatment of Vertebral Compression Fractures: A Meta-Analysis.
Review in Frontiers in surgery, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Purpose: This meta-analysis aimed to determine whether patients treated with robot-assisted kyphoplasty for vertebral compression fractures have superior clinical and radiographic improvement than those treated with fluoroscopy. Methods: A comprehensive search of the PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, Science Direct, and CNKI (China National Knowledge Infrastructure) databases was conducted to find randomized control trials (RCTs) or observational cohort studies that compared robotic-assisted kyphoplasty (RA-kyphoplasty) with fluoroscopy-assisted kyphoplasty (FA-kyphoplasty) in treating vertebral compression fractures. Preoperative, postoperative, and final follow-up data on vertebral height (VH), vertebral kyphosis angle (VKA), visual analog scale (VAS) for back pain, and cement leakage rate were collected from eligible studies for meta-analysis. Patients were divided into RA and FA groups depending on whether the operation was robotically or fluoroscopically guided. Results: We included 6 cohort studies with 491 patients and 633 vertebrae. The results of the meta-analysis showed that the RA group had a higher VH than the FA group at both postoperation ( Conclusion: This meta-analysis demonstrated that RA-kyphoplasty outperformed FA-kyphoplasty in vertebral height restoration, kyphosis angle correction, VAS score reduction for back pain, and lower cement leakage rate in the treatment of vertebral compression fractures.
