Lumbar interbody fusion with bilateral cages using a biportal endoscopic technique with a third portal.
Article in Acta neurochirurgica, 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
backgroundUnilateral biportal endoscopic lumbar interbody fusion (ULIF) with one cage results in fewer definitive fusions (Park et al. in Neurosurg Rev 42(3):753-761, 2019). We succeeded in inserting bilateral cages during ULIF.
methodWe attempted posterior ULIF for degenerative lumbar spondylolisthesis with bilateral recess stenosis. With the help of a third portal, ULIF with bilateral cage insertion was performed under general anaesthesia.
conclusionsWe successfully performed ULIF with bilateral cages with the help of a third portal. This procedure may be an alternative for treating lumbar stenosis with instability.
