Surgical Treatment of Andersson Lesion of the Lumbar Spine with Minimal Invasion: A Case Report.
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 4 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
backgroundAndersson lesion (AL) refers to a destructive vertebral or disco-vertebral lesion of the spine in patients with ankylosing spondylitis (AS). Against the backdrop that the best surgical option for AL remains controversial, this work serves as the first case report of oblique lateral interbody fusion (OLIF) combined with posterior pedicle screw fixation to treat AL of the lumbar spine under minimal invasion. CASE PRESENTATION: In this case report, the patient involved was a female aged 37 diagnosed with AL (L3-L4). OLIF combined with pedicle screw fixation was carried out to achieve stabilization of the lumbar spine. It turned out that the patient experienced significant pain relief in her excellent post-operative recovery, with her post-surgical radiographs indicating good stability and bony fusion. The patient now remains disease-free with no low back pain or neurological deficit at the two-year follow-up.
conclusionOLIF combined with pedicle screw fixation thus has proven to be an ideal therapeutic option for treating AL of the lumbar spine.
