1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

People's understanding of lumbar spinal stenosis has become more and more comprehensive and reasonable, however, there are still many controversies about the concepts of "central lumbar canal" and "lateral lumbar spinal canal", and there is no unified standard at present. In this paper, we redefine and differentiate the two concepts. We believe that some kinds of central canal stenosis caused by bilateral recess stenosis can be completely solved by bilateral percutaneous endoscopic transforaminal discectomy. At the same time, the concept of "lumbar lateral recess" is ambiguous. We redefine it as "lateral lumbar spinal canal" and propose "West China Hospital classification" to guide surgical decision-making, which has been widely recognized and applied.
