Remodeling of the Lumbar Facet Joint After Full Endoscopic Resection for Lumbar Osteoid Osteoma: Case Report and Literature Review.
Article in International journal of spine surgery, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
backgroundOsteoid osteoma (OO) is a common benign bone tumor; however, approximately 25% of cases have spine involvement. It is often treated by image-guided radiofrequency ablation to break down the nidus. Few reports have described full endoscopic resection of the lesion, but none have described postoperative remodeling of the lumbar facet joint after surgical resection of an OO. The study aimed to describe a rare case of remodeling of the lumbar facet joint and then delineate the least invasive surgical technique of endoscopic resection of an OO.
methodsA 26-year-old man presented with severe left buttock pain and sciatica that worsened at night and was relieved by ibuprofen. Magnetic resonance imaging indicated a left inferior facet of an L3 mass-like lesion. A thin-section computed tomography image revealed a nidus, which was compatible with an OO. Full endoscopic resection was performed to completely remove the nidus of the OO.
resultsAt the 2-year follow-up, the patient was symptom-free and computed tomography images indicated new bone formation.
conclusionsThe present case and literature review demonstrate that endoscopic resection is safe and effective for managing a posterior element of lumbar OO. Furthermore, this technique allows complete removal of the nidus with minimal damage to surrounding structures and leads to remodeling of the resection site. CLINICAL RELEVANCE: Patients with OO involving the posterior element of the spine can present with buttock and radicular pain, mimicking lumbar disc herniation. OO can be successfully removed by the full endoscopic method and remodeling of the resected site can be anticipated. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: 4:
