Efficacy of Percutaneous Vertebroplasty Assisted by a Curved Cement Delivery Guide for Osteoporotic Vertebral Compression Fractures in the Elderly.

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 explore the clinical efficacy of percutaneous vertebroplasty (PVP) assisted by a curved bone cement delivery guide for osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures (OVCFs) in the elderly. Methods: This retrospective cohort study enrolled 96 elderly patients with OVCFs who underwent PVP. Patients were divided into three groups based on the surgical approach: the Curved Guide group (n=34), the Unilateral group (n=30), and the Bilateral group (n=32). Baseline characteristics were compared among the three groups. Surgical parameters assessed included operative time, intraoperative blood loss, and fluoroscopy frequency. Bone cement-related outcomes encompassed injection volume, distribution pattern, and leakage rate. Treatment efficacy was evaluated using VAS and ODI scores. Radiographic outcomes included vertebral height restoration and kyphotic angle correction. Results: Baseline data were comparable among the three groups ( Conclusion: Curved guide-assisted PVP combines the benefits of a minimally invasive unilateral puncture with effective fracture reduction and optimal bone cement distribution. This technique achieves definitive clinical efficacy in elderly patients with OVCFs and merits broader clinical application.
