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

objectiveTo explore the clinical effect of unilateral biportal endoscopic-assisted transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion (UBE-TLIF) in the treatment of recurrent lumbar disc herniation (RLDH).

methodsThe clinical data of 44 patients with RLDH treated by UBE-TLIF in our hospital from August 2020 to December 2020 were analysed retrospectively. The study indicators included intraoperative blood loss, operation time, bed rest time, and hospital stay. The follow-up data included the visual analogue score (VAS) of low back pain, Japanese Orthopaedic Association score (JOA), Oswestry disability index (ODI) score, and the short form 36 health survey questionnaire (SF-36) score preoperatively and 1 week and 6 months postoperatively.

resultsThe average operation time was 179.15 ± 42.06 minutes, the average intraoperative blood loss was 132.67 ± 41.92 ml, the average bed rest time was 1.51 ± 0.42 days, and the average hospital stay was 4.82 ± 1.13 days. The VAS score of low back pain after the operation was lower than that before the operation (all P<0.0001). The ODI score, JOA score, and SF-36 scores at postoperative follow-up were significantly different from those before the operation (P<0.05). The satisfaction rate was 86.4% at 7 days after the operation and 95.4% at 6 months after the operation. The proportion of significant clinical efficacy was 18.2% (postoperative day 7) and 63.6% (postoperative month 6).

conclusionsUBE-TLIF has the advantages of a rapid recovery, less intraoperative blood loss, a short bed rest and hospital stay, and a good medium-term clinical effect. It is a safe, reliable minimally invasive technique for surgical treatment of RLDH.
