Lumbar revision microdiscectomy in patients with recurrent lumbar disc herniation: A single-center prospective series.
Article in Surgical neurology international, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 19 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
backgroundRecurrent lumbar disc herniation (RLDH) is a common complication following primary microdiscectomy. Notably, revision surgery for recurrent disc herniation typically warrants "aggressive discectomy (AD)" rather than microdiscectomy due to the marked changes in anatomy, including postoperative scar. Here, we prospectively evaluated clinical outcomes of 22 RLDH patients following secondary aggressive discectomy (AD).
methodsRecords of 15 males and seven females averaging 41.7 years of age (range 21-60) who developed RLDH following primary microdiscectomy at the L4-5 (
resultsThe VAS scores for back and radicular pain significantly improved, as did the JOA scores following surgery in all 22 patients after secondary AD.
conclusionThe authors concluded that secondary conventional revision discectomy (e.g., AD) effectively and safely managed RLDH.
