[Short-term effectiveness of percutaneous endoscopic transforaminal bilateral decompression for severe central lumbar spinal stenosis].
Article in Zhongguo xiu fu chong jian wai ke za zhi = Zhongguo xiufu chongjian waike zazhi = Chinese journal of reparative and reconstructive surgery, 2019. 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
objectiveTo observe the effectiveness and safety of percutaneous endoscopic transforaminal bilateral decompression for severe central lumbar spinal stenosis.
methodsA retrospective analysis of 44 patients with single-segment severe central lumbar spinal stenosis with bilateral lower extremity symptoms between October 2015 and December 2017 was performed. Among them, 36 cases underwent bilateral decompression through bilateral transforaminal approach, and 8 cases underwent bilateral decompression through unilateral transforaminal approach. There were 25 males and 19 females, the age ranged from 56 to 89 years with an average of 68.6 years. The disease duration was 5-39 months with an average of 14.5 months. Involved segments: L
resultsAll patients successfully underwent surgery and the wounds healed by first intention. All 44 patients were followed up 13-46 months with an average of 24.8 months. One patient developed postoperative lower extremity paralysis and 1 patient developed a dural tear. There was no infection, recurrence, or revision surgery during the follow-up. Postoperative imaging showed that the central spinal canal was enlarged and the area of the dural sac was significantly increased compared with preoperative one. The VAS score of low back pain was 2.4±0.6 and 2.5±0.8 at 1 month after operation and at last follow-up, showing no significant difference when compared with preoperative scores (
conclusionPercutaneous endoscopic transforaminal bilateral decompression for treating severe central lumbar spinal stenosis has the advantages of less trauma, adequate decompression, and rapid recovery. The short-term effectiveness is good.
