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

backgroundComplex anatomical features are challenging for minimally invasive intradiscal therapy owing to insufficient visualization for accurate needle advancement. We report the case of a patient with dysraphic vertebral pathologies who presented with L5/S1 degeneration and was successfully treated with annuloplasty using the cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT)-assisted radiofrequency thermocoagulation system. CASE PRESENTATION: A 34-year-old woman presented with a lower back and left radicular pain of L5/S1 discogenic origin, accompanied by spina bifida occulta and lumbosacral transitional vertebra. Radiofrequency annuloplasty was performed to preserve disc height and spinal stability, with real-time CBCT guidance for the congenital and degenerative conditions. The procedure relieved her left lower-extremity pain and magnetic resonance imaging revealed that the L5/S1 disc bulging decreased while the disc height was preserved.

conclusionOptimal accessibility of radiofrequency thermocoagulation and effective needle guidance using CBCT significantly improve the success rate of annuloplasty at the L5/S1 degenerative disc with severe vertebral deformity.
