Anterior percutaneous full-endoscopic transcorporeal decompression of the spinal cord for single-segment cervical spondylotic myelopathy: The technical interpretation and 2 years of clinical follow-up.

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
backgroundACDF is the standard procedure for treatment of cervical spondylotic myelopathy (CSM), but a long-term follow-up has been revealed some associated complications of swallowing discomfort, displacement of the fusion device, and accelerated degeneration of the adjacent segment.
objectiveTo evaluate the clinical outcomes of anterior percutaneous full-endoscopic transcorporeal decompression of the spinal cord (APFETDSC) for single-segment CSM and to analyze the clinical efficacy, surgical characteristics, and complication prevention.
methodsA total of 32 patients who underwent APFETDSC for single-segment CSM from Aug. 2015 to Apr. 2017 were reviewed. Operating time, time of walking out of bed postoperation, length of hospitalization, complications, neck pain visual analog scale (VAS), and Japanese Orthopaedic Association Score (JOA) were evaluated. Measurement of intervertebral height (HI) of surgical segments on cervical neutral X-ray, Harrison's method was used to measure cervical spine angle (CSA).
resultsThe operation time was 103.3 ± 12.95 min, time of walking out of bed after surgery was 19.81 ± 4.603 h, the length of postoperative hospital stay was 57.48 ± 19.48 h. The postoperative neck pain VAS and JOA were significantly improved compared with preoperation(p < 0.001). The postoperative HI was statistical significance decreased compared with preoperation(p < 0.001), but the HI reduction was less than 0.5 mm, without adverse clinical symptoms. The postoperative CSA was significantly improved compared with preoperative(p < 0.001). The excellent and good rate was 87.5%, and the JOA improvement rate was 75.52 ± 11.11%. There was no cervical instability, vertebral fracture, wound infection, and other complications.
conclusionsAPFETDSC is a safe and effective minimally invasive technique with small auxiliary injuries for single-segment CSM while avoiding the sequelae of ACDF. Its short-term clinical efficacy was good and no significant effect on cervical stability.
