Clinical effect of full endoscopic lumbar annulus fibrosus suture.
Article in Journal of orthopaedic surgery and research, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 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
purposeThe aim of this study was to investigate the clinical efficacy of full endoscopic lumbar annulus fibrosus suture in the treatment of single-segment lumbar disc herniation (LDH).
methodsThe clinical data of patients with single-segment LDH who underwent full endoscopic lumbar discectomy from January 2017 to January 2019 in our hospital were retrospectively analysed. Patients with full endoscopic lumbar discectomy combined with annulus fibrosus suture were divided into group A, and those with simple full endoscopic lumbar discectomy were divided into group B. The general information, surgery-related data, visual analog scale (VAS), Oswestry disability index (ODI), modified MacNab score at the last follow-up, reoperation rate and recurrence were compared between the two groups.
resultsAll patients were followed up for 12 to 24 months, and the surgical time was 133.6 ± 9.6 min in group A and 129.0 ± 11.7 min in group B. The difference was not statistically significant (p > 0.05). The blood loss of group A was higher than that of group B, and the difference was statistically significant when comparing the groups (p < 0.05). The postoperative symptoms of patients in both groups were significantly relieved, and the VAS score of low back pain and ODI index were significantly lower than the preoperative ones at all postoperative time points (1 month after surgery, 3 months after surgery, and at the last follow-up) (p < 0.05), but there was no significant difference between the groups (p > 0.05). The excellent rate of MacNab at the last follow-up in the two groups were 93.55% and 87.80%, respectively, with no statistically significant difference (p > 0.05). At the last follow-up, the recurrence rate of group A was significantly lower than that of group B, and the difference was statistically significant (p < 0.05), while the difference between the reoperation rate of the two groups was not statistically significant (p > 0.05).
conclusionsFull endoscopic lumbar discectomy combined with annulus fibrosus repair reduces the postoperative recurrence rate and achieves satisfactory clinical outcomes.
