Minimally invasive transaxial lumbosacral interbody fusion: a ten year single-centre experience.
Article in International orthopaedics, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
purposeOur aim was to evaluate mid- and long-term results in a cohort of patients who underwent minimally invasive transaxial lumbosacral fixation and to identify clinical and other parameters that can aid in proper patient selection.
methodsOver a period of ten years, we assessed 164 patients who had a complete follow-up of a minimum of one year (average 54 months). On follow-up, we recorded clinical status, fusion status, visual analogue scale (VAS), Oswestry Lower Back Pain Disability Index (ODI) scores and patient satisfaction.
resultsThere were no intra- or peri-operative complications. Overall clinical success rate was 73.8 %. Only sex (female), working status (still working), body mass index (BMI) (lower) and presence of Modic II changes (absent) were correlated with a good result.
conclusionsTransaxial fixation is a safe, minimally invasive technique that can offer good results in patients with single-level degenerative disc disease (DDD) at the lumbosacral level, with minimal operative risk.
