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

STUDY

designSingle-center retrospective study. PURPOSE: To compare the physical function and quality of life (QOL) parameters of two minimally invasive surgical (MIS) procedures: oblique lateral interbody fusion with percutaneous posterior fixation in lateral position (OLIF-LPF) and minimally invasive transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion (MIS-TLIF) for single-level degenerative spondylolisthesis (DS). OVERVIEW OF LITERATURE: To date, many options for the surgical treatment of lumbar DS and reports have described the effectiveness of minimally invasive lateral access surgery and MIS-TLIF. However, there is still a paucity of comparative data regarding the physical function and QOL outcomes of OLIF and MIS-TLIF.

methodsEighty-six patients were enrolled in this study (group O: OLIF-LPF, n=38; group T: MIS-TLIF, n=48). We evaluated the operation time, estimated blood loss (EBL), postoperative laboratory data, preoperative and postoperative radiographic parameters, overall functional outcome with the Japanese Orthopedic Association Back Pain Evaluation Questionnaire (JOABPEQ) effectiveness rate, and Visual Analog Scale (VAS) score for low back pain, leg pain, and leg numbness.

resultsNo statistical differences in operation time, EBL, and C-reactive protein level, 5 days postoperatively, between groups O and T. With respect to radiological outcome, preoperative and postoperative disc height change was significantly greater in group O than in group T (3.8 vs. 1.8 mm, p<0.05). Both groups showed postoperative improvements in the clinical outcome scores of all JOABPEQ domains, but the effectiveness rate increase in the psychological domain was significantly higher in group O than in group T (47.1% vs. 14.6%, p<0.05). No differences in the preoperative and postoperative VAS score change were noted between the two groups in any of the items.

conclusionsThe changes in physical function and QOL parameters after OLIF-LPF and MIS-TLIF were almost equivalent; however, OLIF-LPF had significant superiority in the psychological domain.
