Feasibility and efficacy of percutaneous lateral lumbar discectomy in the treatment of patients with lumbar disc herniation: a preliminary experience.
Article in BioMed research international, 2015. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT03137485 (Management of Lumbar Postero-lateral Single Level Disc Herniation), which is not on this map. Cited by 1 paper.
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

Abstract
objectiveThis study was aimed at evaluating the effectiveness and safety of percutaneous lateral lumbar discectomy (PLLD) in treating patients with lumber disc herniation.
methodsA total of 183 patients with lumbar disc herniation were recruited to receive PLLD surgery from April 2006 to October 2011. All the adverse effects were recorded during the follow-up at 1, 3, 6, and 12 months after PLLD. The clinical outcomes were determined by visual analog scale and Japanese Orthopaedic Association SCORE.
resultsThe surgery was performed successfully in all patients (102 males and 81 females aged from 21 to 66 years) with a mean 16.6-month follow-up (range from 26 to 65 months). No postoperative complications, including intestinal and vascular complications, nerve injuries, and postoperative infections, were associated with PLLD. At one month after surgery, visual analog scale (3.12 ± 1.44 versus 6.76 ± 2.31, P<0.05) was significantly lower than the baseline and was sustained until 24 months after surgery (3.25 ± 1.78 versus 6.76 ± 2.31, P<0.05). Besides that, Japanese Orthopaedic Association score (25.25 ± 3.21 versus 11.78 ± 2.38, P<0.05) was increased when compared to the baseline.
conclusionsPLLD was a promising, mini-invasive, and effective treatment for lumber disc herniation.
