Comparison of perioperative blood loss of three different posterior nonfusion decompression operations for single-segment lumbar disc herniation.

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: The perioperative blood loss of percutaneous endoscopic interlaminar discectomy (PEID), unilateral biportal endoscopic (UBE) and open fenestration discectomy (OPD) was compared to provide reference for the selection of clinical surgical methods. Methods: The clinical data of 260 patients with lumbar disc herniation who underwent PEID, UBE or OPD surgery from March 2020 to February 2024 were retrospectively analyzed, including 100 patients who received PEID surgery, 100 patients who received UBE surgery, and 60 patients who received OPD surgery. Total blood loss and hidden blood loss were calculated according to the linear equation of circulating blood volume, and the hidden blood loss was statistically compared among the three groups. Results: In terms of perioperative total blood loss and visible blood loss, the OPD group had the highest total blood loss (408.46 ± 116.89 mL) and visible blood loss (127.17 ± 24.22 mL), followed by the UBE group (304.46 ± 87.55 mL and 51.00 ± 11.15 mL respectively). The PEID group was the least (152.87 ± 54.48 mL and 18.75 ± 5.09 mL). Both the overall differences among the three groups and the pairwise differences were statistically significant ( Conclusion: In terms of perioperative blood loss, the PEID group was more minimally invasive than the UBE and OPD groups. Compared with OPD group, UBE group was less invasive, but did not significantly reduce the amount of hidden blood loss after surgery. In terms of operation time, UBE group had the longest operation time and OPD group had the shortest operation time. In terms of hospitalization days, OPD group had the longest hospital stay. In terms of total hospitalization cost, UBE group had the highest total hospitalization cost and PEID group had the lowest total hospitalization cost. The clinician should choose the appropriate surgical plan according to the actual situation of the patient to ensure the efficacy and safety of the operation.
