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

Background: Intradiscal gas is frequently observed in older patients with disc degeneration and can occasionally result in nerve root compression. Case Description: A 79-year-old male patient presented with increasing left lower extremity sciatica. Lumbar computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance (MR) images revealed a left paramedian L5-S1 gas-containing disc herniation. Utilizing an interlaminar approach, a full-endoscopic discectomy (FED) was performed at L5-S1. During disc removal, we countered intradiscal gas bubbles. Postoperatively, the patient's symptoms/signs fully resolved, and follow-up MR and CT images revealed total resection of the disc herniation, and no further gas. Conclusion: Through an interlaminar FED, we effectively removed an L5-S1 MR/CT-documented gas-containing disc herniation.
