Full-endoscopic transpedicular discectomy (FETD) for lumbar herniations: Case report and review of the literature.
Article in International journal of surgery case reports, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
introductionOne of the most challenging occurrences in full-endoscopic surgery for lumbar disc protrusions are up-migrated or down-migrated herniations. Those occurrences are difficult to retrieve with transforaminal or interlaminar approaches. PRESENTATION OF CASE: We describe our experience in dealing with a right paramedian down-migrated L3-L4 disc herniation. The patient underwent full endoscopic transpedicular endoscopic discectomy (FETD), by reaming the right L4 peduncle for intracanal access and fragment retrieval. We also reviewed the recent literature to summarize the advantages of transpedicular approaches, along with current indications and contraindications for this procedure. DISCUSSION: We highlighted how FETD is safe and feasible for down-migrated and up-migrated disc herniation showing excellent results in our patient and in the small cohorts of patients already published in the literature.
conclusionFETD was effective in treating up-migrated and down-migrated disc herniation, as well as discal cysts, showing the feasibility and safety of the technique from any level from L1 to S1.
