Percutaneous transforaminal endoscopic discectomy for lumbar disc herniation: an efficacy analysis.
Article in American journal of translational research, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers, 1 of them a synthesis 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.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
objectiveThis retrospective study evaluated the clinical efficacy of percutaneous transforaminal endoscopic discectomy (PTED) in the treatment of lumbar disc herniation (LDH).
methodsData of 107 LDH patients admitted to the People's Hospital of Pingyang between July 2019 and May 2023 were analyzed retrospectively, including 51 cases treated with conventional open discectomy (control group) and 56 cases undergoing PTED (research group). We compared curative effects, operation time, intraoperative blood loss (IBL), incision length, time until ambulation, hospital stay, pre- and post-treatment pain intensity, lumbar function, and complications. Pain intensity was measured using the the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS), and the lumbar function was assessed by the Oswestry Disability Index (ODI). In addition, the factors influencing the efficacy in LDH patients were analyzed.
resultsThe research group showed a statistically higher overall efficacy (P=0.034, χ
conclusionsPTED is more effective than conventional open discectomy for LDH treatment. It reduces IBL, shortens incision length, facilitates patient recovery, alleviates postoperative pain, improves lumbar function, and minimizes the risk of postoperative complications.
