Comparison of Neuroendoscopic and Microscopic Surgery for Unilateral Hemilaminectomy: Experience of a Single Institution.
Article in Frontiers in surgery, 2022. 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
Objective: This study was designed to compare the safety and efficacy of unilateral hemilaminectomy conducted under complete neuroendoscopic visualization (UHNV) relative to unilateral hemilaminectomy under total microscopic visualization (UHMV) for the treatment of patients diagnosed with intraspinal tumors. Methods: In total, 41 patients undergoing intraspinal tumor resection at Northern Jiangsu People's Hospital were included in this study, including 20 and 21 patients in the UHNV and UHMV groups, respectively. Intraoperative parameters including incision length, operative duration, number of vertebral laminae removed and intraoperative blood loss, as well as indicators of curative efficacy such as total tumor resection rates and postoperative symptom improvement rates, and safety indicators including complication rates, recurrence rates, spinal deformity rates, spinal instability incidence, and length of stay (LOS), were compared between the two groups. Results: In contrast to the UHMV group, patients in the UHNV group had a significantly shorter incision length and decreased intraoperative blood loss ( Conclusion: Collectively, our findings indicate that UHNV is not inferior to the UHMV approach. Moreover, due to its safe and minimally invasive nature, UHNV represents a promising alternative to UHMV as a treatment for patients with intradural extramedullary tumors.
