Transforaminal Endoscopic Lumbar Discectomy for Lumbosacral Junction Adolescent Lumbar Disc Herniation with High Iliac Crests.
Article in Orthopaedic surgery, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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 investigate the clinical results of transforaminal endoscopic lumbar discectomy for lumbosacral junction adolescent lumbar disc herniation with high iliac crest.
methodsFrom February 2014 to September 2020, a retrospective analysis of 96 patients less than 21 years old with intervertebral disc herniation was carried out. We enrolled 44 patients diagnosed with lumbosacral junction disc herniation with high iliac crest who required transforaminal endoscopic lumbar discectomy. Pain in the back and the lower extremity was scored on Numeric Rating Scales (NRS) scores. Patient outcomes were graded as excellent, good, fair, and poor using modified MacNab criteria. The NRS scores before and after the operation were compared using the Wilcoxon two-sample test.
resultsThere were 30 male patients and 14 females. One patient underwent repeat surgery for an intervertebral disc pseudocyst. The NRS scores decreased significantly in both early and late follow-up evaluations (p < 0.05). At the last follow-up, 42 patients (95.45%) had an excellent outcome, one patient (2.27%) had a good outcome, and one patient (2.27%) had a fair outcome. The overall success rate was 97.7%.
conclusionThis study's data suggest that targeted individualized foraminoplasty can effectively overcome the lumbosacral anatomical obstacles, and transforaminal endoscopic lumbar discectomy is an effective and valid option for lumbosacral junction adolescent lumbar disc herniation with high iliac crest.
