Efficacy of endoscopic interlaminar decompression in lumbar spinal stenosis: a retrospective study.
Article in Scientific reports, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
This retrospective study evaluated the clinical effectiveness of endoscopic interlaminar decompression for lumbar spinal stenosis in 40 patients treated from February 2020 to January 2022. The procedure was successful in all cases, with only one dural sac injury reported and no other complications. Postoperative Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) and Japanese Orthopaedic Association (JOA) scores improved significantly (P<0.05), and the modified Macnab criteria showed an 87.5% rate of excellent and good outcomes at follow-up. No patients required revision surgery. Overall, the endoscopic interlaminar approach proved to be effective, safe, and supported early recovery.
