Clinical outcomes of transforaminal versus interlaminar epidural injection among patients with lumbosacral disc herniation.
Article in Bioinformation, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
A clinical outcome of the Transforaminal Epidural Steroid Injection (TFESI) and Interlaminar Epidural Steroid Injection (ILESI) procedures in patients with lumbosacral disc herniation is of interest. Hence, a total of 60 patients were randomly allocated to be given TFESI (n=30) or ILESI (n=30). The two groups were both administered 8 mg dexamethasone and 0.5 ml of preservative-free lignocaine filled to the 1ml level. Visual Analog Scale (VAS) and the Numeric Rating Scale (NRS) are to be used to measure pain at the pre-intervention, 15 days of intervention, as well as 3 months post-intervention. Thus, we show that TFESI was effective with enhanced pain relief, especially at the three-month follow-up.
