Two-stage surgery with oblique lateral interbody fusion and posterior fixation in degenerative scoliosis with lumbosacral curve-driven degenerative lumbar scoliosis: a feasible option to prevent postoperative coronal decompensation.
Article in Journal of orthopaedic surgery and research, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers, 1 of them a synthesis 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
objectiveThis study aims to introduce a two-stage surgical procedure, namely oblique lateral interbody fusion (OLIF), for spinal disorders treatment. Furthermore, clinical outcomes and imaging results are analyzed between OLIF with posterior fixation and posterior lumbar interbody fusion (PLIF) with fixation for lumbosacral curve-driven degenerative lumbar scoliosis (DLS).
methods146 patients with type 2 DLS who underwent OLIF or PLIF between January 2019 and November 2023 were included. Spinal and pelvic parameters were measured using X-ray imaging before and after surgery. Clinical symptoms were assessed using Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) and visual analog scale (VAS). Operation time, intraoperative blood loss, surgical fixation segments, drainage tube indwelling time, and drainage volume were recorded.
results70 patients underwent OLIF and 76 underwent PLIF. Preoperative and postoperative clinical symptoms remain the same (p > 0.05). OLIF group exhibited significantly less intraoperative blood loss, fewer fixation segments, shorter drainage tube retention time, and reduced drainage volume (p < 0.01). Additionally, improvements in coronal parameters, including coronal balance distance, were more pronounced in OLIF group with less potential postoperative coronal imbalance (p < 0.05).
conclusionFor type 2 DLS, two-stage surgery of OLIF with posterior fixation represents a more efficient surgical approach, reducing surgical fusion segments, causing less trauma and bleeding, and effectively avoiding postoperative coronal plane decompensation than traditional posterior surgery.
