Comprehensive Analysis of UBE-Related Complications: Prevention and Management Strategies from 4685 Patients.
Review in Medical science monitor : international medical journal of experimental and clinical research, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 23 papers, 2 of them syntheses that pooled 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.
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
Unilateral biportal endoscopy (UBE) surgery is a minimally invasive approach for treatment of spinal disorders, which usually requires creation of a working and viewing channel on 1 side. The UBE technique has developed rapidly in China in recent years, and many spine surgeons have started to apply it and have shared the initial clinical research results many times at minimally invasive spine conferences. Unfortunately, these studies actually translated into fewer publications. In addition, most patients have good outcomes after UBE surgery, but a minority still experience UBE surgery-related complications, including epidural hematoma, dural sac tears, retroperitoneal effusions, inadequate decompression, postoperative back pain and headache, early recurrence, iatrogenic spinal instability, anemia, and infection, which can prolong hospital stay and seriously affect patient satisfaction. Therefore, this article reviews the complications of UBE surgery for lumbar degenerative diseases and discusses ways to prevent and handle complications associated with UBE to help spine surgeons make smart treatment decisions.
