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

Purpose: One-hole Split Endoscopy (OSE) is a newer surgical modality that can be applied to posterior cervical foraminotomy (PCF), lumbar discectomy, laminectomy, and decompression. It incorporates intervertebral foraminotomy, open surgery, and other lumboendoscopic techniques with a wide observation field, free space, and compatibility with various spinal surgical techniques and instruments. This study investigated the clinical efficacy of minimally invasive posterior cervical nucleus pulposus removal for cervical spondylotic radiculopathy (CSR) by OSE-Keyhole technique. Patients and Methods: This was a retrospective study of 63 patients treated with OSE keyhole treatment for CSR between May 2021 and September 2023 at Qilu Hospital of Shandong University, Qilu Hospital of Shandong University (Qingdao, China), and Second Hospital of Shandong University, respectively. Clinical outcomes included patients' preoperative and postoperative visual analogue scale (VAS) - arm and neck, Japanese Orthopaedic Association Assessment Treatment Score (JOA) - cervical spine, which were collected at baseline, two days postoperatively, one month postoperatively, and three months postoperatively after the last follow-up visit for evaluation, and perioperative indicators, including intraoperative bleeding, length of hospital stay, postoperative complications, and reoperations, which were also collected. Results: Statistical analyses were performed for the baseline data and follow-up results of 63 patients. Compared to the preoperative baseline values, the follow-up results two days, one month and three months after surgery showed significant improvements in vas-arm, neck and JOA scores in the operated patients (P<0.05) as well as a reduction in all perioperative-related indices. Conclusion: In the treatment of cervical pain and disability due to radiculopathy, OSE keyhole removal of the posterior cervical nucleus pulposus is a better clinical option as it is less invasive and recovers better postoperatively.
