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

backgroundThe technique of spinal decompression under endoscopy has been widely applied, but reports on endoscopic cervical fixation are rare. The unilateral biportal endoscopic (UBE) technique stands out for its lesser muscle intrusion and more flexible surgical approach.

methodWe applied the UBE approach for cervical fixation and laminectomy. We achieved bilateral lateral mass screw fixation by making an auxiliary UBE portal combined with the Roy-Camille and Magerl techniques.

conclusionsOur successful implementation of cervical fixation using the UBE technique at the C3/4 level suggests its efficacy. This approach is a valuable and minimally invasive option for cervical fixation.
