Comparison of Unilateral and Bilateral Percutaneous Kyphoplasty for Osteoporotic Vertebral Compression Fractures.

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: To investigate the clinical efficacy of percutaneous kyphoplasty (PKP) with a unilateral versus bilateral approach in the treatment of osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures (OVCFs). Methods: We retrospectively analyzed a total of 147 patients (unilateral group: 79, bilateral group: 68) with OVCFs treated with PKP at the Department of Spine Surgery, Wuhan Fourth Hospital between August 2020 and January 2022. Patients' personal information, operation time, bone cement injection volume, as well as pre- and post-operative visual analogue scale (VAS), Oswestry disability index (ODI), anterior vertebral body height and Cobb angle were recorded. Results: All 147 patients were successfully treated with PKP and were followed up for at least 6 months. Our results showed that the operative time was significantly shorter in the unilateral group (41.60±5.64) minutes than in the bilateral group (66.53±9.40) minutes, and the volume of bone cement injected was also significantly less in the unilateral group (5.27±0.73) mL than in the bilateral group (6.87±0.93) mL ( Conclusion: There was no significant difference between the two groups in terms of improvement in VAS score, ODI index, restoration of vertebral body height, and posterior convexity deformity, but unilateral puncture had the advantage of shorter operative time and less cement injection.
