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

backgroundFailed back surgery syndrome (FBSS) is a general term for persistent postoperative back pain with or without accompanying radicular pain. FBSS may present as chronic facet joint pain.

methodsWe introduced full endoscopic lumbar rhizotomy for patients suffering from facet joint pain due to FBSS. Facet joint block was introduced into the facet joint to determine whether pain improved after the injection.

conclusionWith full endoscopic lumbar rhizotomy, the surgeon can identify the regions involved more clearly and directly. Although it is an invasive procedure, it provides a more effective and safe treatment for patients with FBSS-related facet joint pain.
