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
objectiveThe effect of Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) on lumbar disc herniation (LDH) remains controversial. This retrospective cohort study aims to investigate the effect of T2DM on the LDH patients underwent percutaneous endoscopic lumbar discectomy (PELD) throughout pre, peri and post operation.
methodsThis study included patients underwent PELD surgery from October 2021 to January 2024. General data including age, gender and body mass index (BMI), hemoglobin, hypertension and coronary heart disease (CHD) were collected. Clinical data including Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) score, surgical time, blood loss, length of hospital stay, recurrence ratio and reoperation ratio were recorded. Imaging data include L1-5 cobb angle, lumbar range of motion (ROM), relative cross-sectional area (CSA) and fat infiltration ratio (FIR) of the paraspinal muscles, abdominal aorta calcification (AAC), disc Pfirrmann grading, herniated disc Michigan State University (MSU) classification and Lee Zoning et al. were measured. Propensity score-matched (PSM) analysis with 1:1 ratio was performed to eliminate the influence of confounding factors using a multi-variable logistic regression model before analysis.
results728 patients were eligible in this study, and significant difference was detected in age, hypertension and CHD between the T2DM group and Control group. After PSM analysis and matching, 56 pairs of patients generated and were included for further analysis. The patients in the T2DM possessed significantly higher grades of Pfirrmann score and AAC ratio (48.21% vs. 25.00%) than control group. Postoperative VAS of the T2DM group was 2(IQR = 1), which was significantly higher than the Control group, which was 1(IQR = 2). The recurrence and reoperation ratio were 21.43% and 16.07% respectively in the T2DM group, both of which were notably higher than the Control group (5.36% and 1.79%).
conclusionT2DM may aggravate disc degeneration, impede postoperative symptom relief, and increase recurrence and reoperation rates after PELD.
