1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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 compare the effectiveness of uniportal endoscopic transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion (Endo-TLIF), unilateral biportal endoscopic transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion (UBE-TLIF), and minimally invasive transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion (MIS-TLIF) in the treatment of single-level lumbar degenerative disease. Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on 130 patients with single-level lumbar degenerative disease treated between January 2019 and December 2022. According to the surgical technique, patients were divided into the MIS-TLIF group (43 cases), the Endo-TLIF group (45 cases), and the UBE-TLIF group (42 cases). Baseline data, including age, gender, operated level, disease type, preoperative lower-extremity pain visual analogue scale (VAS) score, and Oswestry disability index (ODI), showed no significant difference among the three groups ( Results: There was no significant difference in operation time among the three groups ( Conclusion: Endo-TLIF and UBE-TLIF achieve effectiveness and fusion rates comparable to those of MIS-TLIF for single-level lumbar degenerative disease, with advantages of less trauma, reduced blood loss, and faster recovery.
