Three-dimensional endoscopy in lumbar spine surgery as a novel approach for degenerative pathologies: a case report.
Article in Journal of surgical case reports, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT07171801 (3D vs. 2D Unilateral Biportal Endoscopic Spine Surgery), which is not on this map. Cited by 6 papers.
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.

Abstract
Endoscopic spine surgery has evolved exponentially. However, the two-dimensional (2D) view results in lack of stereoscopic vision and depth perception, contributing to the steep learning curve. This case report recounts a world first trial of a three-dimensional (3D) endoscopic system that converts 2D to 3D images and explores its potential role in the surgical management of degenerative lumbar spine diseases. The 3D endoscopic system was used for two patient cases and both 2D and 3D images were displayed side by side and compared. Advantages of the 3D endoscopic system include increased perception of depth, rapid identification of bleeding points, and greater visualization of anatomical details. Field of view and exposure were identical in 2D and 3D views. Limitations include costs and need for additional equipment. Overall, 3D endoscopy improved depth perception, instrument manoeuvrability, and recognition of anatomical details. This case report can guide further research and training in endoscopic spine surgery.
