Evaluation of the discal height gain and lumbar lordosis variation obtained by the techniques of transforaminal and posterior lumbar intersomatic fusion.
Article in Revista brasileira de ortopedia. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
objectiveEvaluate the discal height and lumbar lordosis gains, comparatively, according to the two lumbar arthrodesis techniques, transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion (TLIF) and posterior lumbar interbody fusion (PLIF), used in the treatment of spinal degenerative diseases.
methodsThe present study, retrospective, was done with 60 patients who underwent decompression and 1 level lumbar arthrodesis in the Hospital Santa Casa de Misericórdia de Vitória (HSCMV), between January 2010 and December 2015. The patients were divided in two groups of 30 each, according to the utilized intersomatic arthrodesis technique: TLIF or PLIF. All patients presented pathologies at the L4-L5 level. In this study, the discal height gain and lumbar lordosis variation were evaluated by analyzing spinal radiographies of the pre and post-operatory periods from patients of the two groups, measured by the software Surgimap
resultsBoth techniques presented a gain in the discal height in the post-operatory. There was no statistically significant difference between the discal height variation obtained with the PLIF technique when compared to the TLIF technique (
conclusionThere is no difference in the discal height gain and lumbar lordosis variation, as well as in the pain intensity in the post-operatory periods, in patients who underwent 1 level intersomatic arthrodesis when comparing the PLIF and TLIF techniques.
