Postoperative Transient Neurogenic Claudication After Lumbar Endoscopic Decompression: The Role of Floseal in Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery.
Article in Cureus, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
The shift toward minimally invasive procedures in American healthcare has transformed spine surgery, particularly with the rise of endoscopic techniques. Endoscopic spine surgery enables the treatment of conditions like lumbar spinal stenosis, offering advantages such as reduced tissue trauma, smaller incisions, and quicker recovery compared to traditional open surgery. Spinal stenosis, where the spinal canal narrows and compresses nerves, often results in significant pain, numbness, or weakness in the lower extremities. Despite the benefits of endoscopic decompression, it brings unique challenges, particularly regarding intraoperative bleeding control. Hemostatic agents, such as Floseal (Baxter, Deerfield, IL), a gelatin matrix, are commonly used to manage bleeding during surgery. However, their use in endoscopic procedures within confined spaces introduces considerations not seen in open surgeries. This case report presents a patient with lumbar stenosis who underwent endoscopic decompression and developed postoperative neurogenic claudication, illustrating both the outcome and the use of Floseal in minimally invasive spine surgeries.
