Preoperative Design for the Posterolateral Approach in Full-Endoscopic Spine Surgery for the Treatment of L5/S1 Lumbar Disc Herniation.
Article in Neurospine, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
objectiveFull-endoscopic spine surgery (FESS) is a relatively less invasive treatment for lumbar disc herniation (LDH). This study investigated the optimal operative route of the posterolateral approach (PLA) of FESS for the treatment of L5/S1 LDH.
methodsBetween June 2016 and November 2018, a total of 21 patients with leg pain due to L5/S1 LDH underwent PLA of FESS. According to the partial removal of the superior articular process (SAP) of the L5/S1 facet joint (FJ), we categorized these patients into 2 groups. LDH type, anatomical configurations (FJ, sacral ala [SA], and iliac crest [IC]), the presence or absence of spondylolysis, operation time, and operative outcome were compared between these 2 groups.
resultsAlthough the anatomical configuration of the FJ was the most important factor for the necessity of SAP removal, the configuration of the SA and IC did not restrict endoscope insertion and subsequent LDH removal. Even in intracanal LDH, the removal of SAP was not absolutely required depending on the FJ configuration. Furthermore, the presence of spondylolysis was a factor associated with the unnecessity of SAP removal.
conclusionDetailed radiological examination of the FJ configuration is an important preoperative investigation to determine the optimal operative route for PLA of FESS.
