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

To compare the clinical efficacy of interlaminar endoscopic surgical system delta (iLESSYS-Delta) discectomy with that of classical fenestration discectomy for treating lumbar disc herniation. Patients who underwent iLESSYS-Delta or fenestration discectomy were enrolled in this study. Baseline information and clinical indicators were collected. The baseline data were matched using propensity score matching. Fifty-two patients were in each group. In the iLESSYS-Delta cohort, the volume of intraoperative bleeding was 18.17 ± 4.20 ml, the length of postoperative hospital stay was 4.16 ± 2.29 days, and the length of postoperative off-bed activity was 1.58 ± 0.88 days. In contrast, in the fenestration group, the volume of intraoperative bleeding was 32.50 ± 17.13 ml, the length of postoperative hospital stay was 6.66 ± 2.44 days, and the length of postoperative off-bed activity was 3.18 ± 1.28 days. The difference between the two groups was statistically significant (P < 0.05). The operation time was 88.90 ± 19.14 min in the iLESSYS-Delta group and 67.63 ± 19.32 min in the fenestration group, and the difference between the two groups was statistically significant (P < 0.05). Regarding the pain visual analogue scale scores at 24, 48, and 72 h after surgery, patients in the iLESSYS-Delta group had less pain than did those in the fenestration group (P < 0.05). The Oswestry disability indices of postoperative patients in both groups significantly improved at 3 months after surgery and at the last follow-up (P < 0.05); however, there was no statistically significant difference in the postoperative ODI scores between the two surgery groups (P > 0.05). The two groups showed no significant differences in clinical effects, postoperative recurrence rates, or perioperative complications. iLESSYS-Delta can cause less intraoperative bleeding and faster recovery than fenestration discectomy.
