Anesthesia methods for full-endoscopic lumbar discectomy: a review.
Review in Frontiers in medicine, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 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
Full-endoscopic lumbar discectomy under local anesthesia is major trends for the treatment of lumbar disc herniation in spine minimally invasive surgery. However, sometimes local anesthesia is not enough for analgesic in surgery especially in interlaminar approach. This study summarizes the current study of anesthesia methods in full-endoscopic lumbar discectomy. Local anesthesia is still the most common anesthesia method in full-endoscopic lumbar discectomy and the comparison group for other anesthesia methods due to high safety. Compared to local anesthesia, Epidural anesthesia is less applied in full-endoscopic lumbar discectomy but reports better intraoperative pain control and equivalent safety due to the motor preservation and pain block characteristic of ropivacaine. General anesthesia can achieve totally pain block during surgery but nerve injury can not be ignored, and intraoperative neuromonitoring can assist. Regional anesthesia application is rare but also reports better anesthesia effects during surgery and equivalent safety. Anesthesia methods for full-endoscopic lumbar discectomy should be based on patient factors, surgical factors, and anesthesiologist factors to achieve satisfactory anesthesia experience and successful surgery.
