Risk factors for lumbar fascial edema in patients with osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures and its effect on residual pain after percutaneous vertebroplasty.
Article in American journal of translational research, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
objectiveTo identify risk factors for lumbar fascial edema (LFE) in patients with osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures (OVCF) and evaluate its impact on residual pain after percutaneous vertebroplasty (PVP).
methodsA retrospective analysis was conducted on 360 OVCF patients who underwent PVP from January 2020 to March 2025. Based on MRI findings, patients were categorized into the LFE group (n=131) and non-LFE group (NLFE; n=229). Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were used to identify independent risk factors, and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis was used to assess their diagnostic value. Clinical parameters, including the presence or absence of edema, numerical rating scale (NRS) pain score, modified Oswestry disability index (ODI), C-reactive protein (CRP) and interleukin-6 (IL-6) levels, and postoperative residual pain were compared between patients in different age groups.
resultsMultivariate analysis identified age, history of trauma, presence of lumbar instability, and old vertebral compression fractures as independent risk factors for LFE (P<0.05). ROC curve analysis confirmed their significant diagnostic value. Compared with the NLFE group, the LFE group had significantly higher NRS and ODI scores, residual pain incidence, CRP, and IL-6 levels (P<0.05). Patients aged ≥70 years had significantly higher values for these parameters than those <70 years (P<0.05).
conclusionAdvanced age, trauma history, lumbar instability, and old vertebral compression fractures are significant risk factors for LFE in OVCF patients. The presence of LFE is associated with a higher incidence of postoperative residual pain.
