Surgical management of complex lumbosacral anomaly with minimally invasive spinal fusion: A clinical image.
Article in Clinical case reports, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Key Clinical Message: Lumbosacral junction anomalies represent a rather frequent finding in patients with low back pain. Involved healthcare professionals should be familiar with these dysplasias, in order to achieve proper diagnosis and optimize clinical outcomes. Abstract: Dysplastic alterations in lumbosacral junction represent a frequent finding in patients with low back pain. Lumbosacral transitional vertebra (LSTV), spina bifida occulta (SBO) and isthmic spondylolisthesis (IS) present recognized etiologies of low back pain. Herein, we present a rare case of concurrent presence of LSTV, SBO and IS in a middle-aged male individual who was presented with low back pain in our department. Considering the resistant to conservative treatment symptomatology in conjunction with clinical-radiologic presence of segmental instability, patient was subjected to uneventful minimally invasive lumbosacral fusion featuring complete recession of symptomatology directly postoperatively with no signs of recurrence until 6 months follow-up. To our best knowledge, coexistence of LSTV, IS and SBO in lumbosacral junction has never been described in contemporary literature. Whenever surgery is indicated, minimally invasive spinal fusion may be considered as a safe and effective alternative in these cases.
