Factors related to the postoperative recurrence of lumbar disc herniation treated by percutaneous transforaminal endoscopy: A meta-analysis.
Article in Frontiers in surgery, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT06833099 (The Prediction of Recurrence Lumbar Disc Herniation At L5-S1 Level Through Machine Learning Models Based on Endoscopic Discectomy Via the Interlaminar Approach), which is not on this map. Cited by 6 papers, 2 of them syntheses that pooled 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.
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.

Abstract
Objective: To explore factors related to the postoperative recurrence of lumbar disc herniation treated by percutaneous transforaminal endoscopy. Methods: PubMed, EMBASE, Cochrane Library, CNKI, Wanfang database and VIP database were systematically searched from the time of each library's construction to October 20, 2022. The studies that compared the influencing factors of recurrent lumbar disc herniation were included based on the PICO search structure. The Newcastle-Ottawa Scale was used to evaluate the quality of observational studies. The effects of the patient's age, gender, BMI, smoking, drinking, hypertension, diabetes, course of the disease, Pfirrmann grade, and the surgical segment on recurrent lumbar disc herniation were systematically evaluated using Revman 5.3. The odds ratio (OR) and 95% confidence interval (CI) were calculated. Results: Thirteen studies involving 3,393 patients (323 patients with recurrent lumbar disc herniation) treated with percutaneous transforaminal endoscopy were included in this study. The results of the systematic evaluation showed that the effects of gender, smoking, drinking, hypertension, type of lumbar disc herniation and the surgical segment on recurrent lumbar disc herniation were not statistically significant. However, age ≥60 years (OR = 2.23; 95% CI: 1.13, 4.41), BMI ≥25 (OR = 2.89; 95% CI: 1.23, 6.80), diabetes (OR = 1.73; 95% CI: 1.18, 2.55), course of disease ≥4 years (OR = 2.93; 95% CI: 1.58, 5.43), Pfirrmann grades 3-4 (OR = 3.10; 95% CI: 2.18, 4.40), incomplete removal of nucleus pulposus (OR = 3.26; 95% CI: 1.69, 6.27) and intraoperative fibre breakage (OR = 3.18; 95% CI: 1.56, 6.50) increased the risk of recurrence after treatment. Conclusion: The recurrence of lumbar disc herniation after percutaneous transforaminal endoscopic treatment is related to demographic characteristics, disease history and surgical conditions. In the future, more high-quality studies are needed to explore the influencing factors of recurrent lumbar disc herniation.
