Modified Interlaminar Endoscopic Lumbar Discectomy for Highly Upmigrated Disc Herniation: A Proctorship Description of the Technique via Translaminar Route.
Article in Neurospine, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 14 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
Lumbar disc herniation (LDH) comprises one of the most common causes of low back pain. 35%-72% of LDH is associated with disc fragment migration. The migration of the disc fragments can be high-grade up, low-grade up, high-grade down, and low-grade down. Spine surgeons deal with unique challenges during surgical management of migrated discs. Operational challenges with open surgery include extensive lamina excision, pars excision, and potential for iatrogenic instability without fixation. In contrast, rigid instruments and poor visualization are the challenges with transforaminal endoscopic spine surgery (ESS). Hence interlaminar approach with ESS is an excellent choice with these migrated LDH. The creation of a translaminar crater in the cranial lamina without dealing with the interlaminar window or ligamentum flavum could be an excellent option to deal with these herniations face front. The lamina is the only anatomical barrier between the endoscope and the migrated disc fragment. Hence with a translaminar approach, unnecessary flavectomy can be avoided. In this technical report and video, we demonstrate the surgical technique of performing the translaminar ESS for highly upmigrated LDH with the preservation of optimal natural anatomy.
