Microsurgical treatment of lumbar paravertebral tumors via lateral retroperitoneal approach: operative technique and a series of 6 patients.
Article in BMC surgery, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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 surgical techniques and postoperative therapeutic effectiveness of microsurgical treatment of lumbar paravertebral tumors via lateral retroperitoneal approach.
methodsThe clinical data of 6 cases with lumbar paravertebral tumors treated by lateral retroperitoneal approach in the Neurosurgery department of Xuanwu Hospital, Capital Medical University were analyzed retrospectively. The mean operation time, blood loss, incision length, length of hospital stay, and the resection rate of paravertebral tumors were collected, and the score of The Ability to Perform Activities of Daily Living (ADL) and incidence of postoperative complications was recorded.
resultsThe operation time ranged from 56 to 181 min, with an average of (94.8 ± 48.3) minutes. The blood loss was between 5 and 100 ml, with an average of (31.7 ± 37.5) ml. The incision length was 6-7 cm, with an average of (6.7 ± 0.5) cm. The hospitalization length was between 5 and 11 days, with an average of (8.7 ± 2.6) days. The resection rate of paravertebral tumors was 100%. Postoperative pathological diagnosis results revealed 4 cases of schwannoma, 1 case of ganglioneuroma, and 1 case of malignant small round cell tumor. During the 3-month follow-up, there were no tumor recurrence, abdominal infection, incision infection, incisional hernia, or death, and there was no significant decrease in the ADL score compared with that before the operation.
conclusionThe surgical treatment of lumbar paravertebral tumors via the lateral retroperitoneal approach has the advantages of the short operation time, minimally invasive procedures, quick postoperative recovery, and fewer complications.
