One-Stage Percutaneous Endoscopic Lumbar Discectomy for Symptomatic Double-Level Contiguous Adolescent Lumbar Disc Herniation.
Article in Orthopaedic surgery, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
objectiveTo assess the clinical efficacy of one-stage percutaneous endoscopic lumbar discectomy (PELD) for symptomatic double-level contiguous adolescent lumbar disc herniation (ALDH).
methodsThis retrospective study included 16 patients who presented with back and/or leg pain due to double-level disc herniation underwent PELD for symptomatic lumbar disc herniation (0.27%,16/5877) from January 2014 to September 2019. After follow-up period of 17.3 months in average, numeric rating scale (NRS) scores and modified Macnab criteria were used to assess the preoperative and postoperative clinical results. Quantitative data were expressed as mean standard deviation (SD) and the data for the variation in the NRS scores before and after the operation were compared using the Wilcoxon two-sample test. Analyses were performed with IBM SPSS Statistics for Windows, version 19.0 (IBM, Armonk, NY, USA). Values of P < 0.05 were considered significantly different.
resultsThere were 11 male and 5 female patients, with an average age of 19.3 years (range, 15-22 years). One case affected the L
conclusionThis study's data suggest that one-stage PELD is promising treatment strategy for selected symptomatic double-level contiguous adolescent lumbar disc herniation.
