1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

This video article explores a case of tethered cord release through a minimally invasive biportal endoscopic approach. A 24-year-old female with chronic back pain and thigh numbness underwent surgery. The chosen approach involved biportal endoscopic technique, demonstrating precision with minimal bone excision. Preoperative imaging revealed a midline fusion defect at L5 and abnormal conus medullaris termination. The surgical procedure involved one-sided hemilaminectomy, durotomy, and careful filum terminale separation. Postoperatively, radiological exams confirmed success with minimal bone defect. Emphasizing minimal invasiveness, reduced bone excision, and muscle sparing, this technique showcased successful outcomes, enabling the patient's rapid postoperative recovery without complications. The video can be found here: https://stream.cadmore.media/r10.3171/2024.1.FOCVID23228.
