Minimally invasive surgery procedure in isthmic spondylolisthesis.
Article in European spine journal : official publication of the European Spine Society, the European Spinal Deformity Society, and the European Section of the Cervical Spine Research Society, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 18 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
purposeThe aim of the study was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of the direct lateral approach to the lumbar spine in the treatment of painful isthmic spondylolisthesis in adults.
methodsTwenty-one patients affected by isthmic spondylolisthesis and treated with extreme lateral interbody fusion and posterior percutaneous pedicle screw fixation were enrolled. All included patients were clinically evaluated with Oswestry Disability Index, SF36 and Visual Scale Anatomy (VAS) for back pain at 1, 3 months and at 1 year.
resultsThe mean correction of vertebral slippage measured on lateral lumbar X-ray was 56.3% (p = 0.002). The average preoperative VAS score was 7.1, at 1 year decreasing to 2.2 (p = 0.001). The patients had an average preoperative "Oswestry Disability Index" of 36.8 and 24.1% after 1 year (p = 0.02). The preoperative Short-Form 36 Physical Health was equal to 33.8, 72.1% after 1 month, to 76.3% after 3 months and to 83.2% (p = 0.001) after 1 year of follow-up. There were no signs of implant loosening at 1-year CT scan examination in any of the patients.
conclusionThe study showed that the extreme lateral approach to the lumbar spine in case of isthmic spondylolisthesis is a reliable and safe option to the most common open procedures. In the authors' opinion, XLIF procedures allow a good correction of the listhesis associated with good clinical and radiographic results.
