Successful treatment of lumbar ligamentum flavum hematoma using a spinal full-endoscopic system.
Article in Journal of spine surgery (Hong Kong), 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
backgroundPercutaneous endoscopic lumbar discectomy (PELD) is a relatively less invasive treatment for lumbar disc herniation (LDH). This study investigated the usefulness of a full-endoscopic system for PELD in lumbar ligamentum flavum hematoma (LFH) treatment.
methodsBetween May 2017 and Jun 2018, a total of five patients with leg pain due to LFH underwent surgery using a full-endoscopic system for PELD. A percutaneous endoscopic translaminar approach (PETA) was performed right above the LFH. Pathological examination of the hematoma capsule was performed in all cases.
resultsThe mean age of the patients was 64 years; there were 3 male and 2 female patients. Leg pain improved immediately after operation in all cases. Intraoperative findings and pathological examination revealed that the synovium at adjacent facet joints was not involved.
conclusionsFull-endoscopic system is not only a safe and effective minimally invasive system for the treatment of lumbar LFH, but is also superior to acquire a correct diagnosis.
