The treatment of continuous double-level lumbar degenerated disease with PE-TLIF: A case report.
Article in Medicine, 2025. 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
rationalePercutaneous endoscopic transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion (PE-TLIF) is a minimally invasive surgical approach for the treatment of lumbar degenerative diseases, Due to the high incidence of surgical complications and long operative time, the cases reported in previous literature were focused on single segment lumbar degenerative diseases. In our study, we present 2 patients who had continuous double-level lumbar degenerated disease. PATIENT CONCERNS: A 71-year-old man with severe low back pain and right leg pain for 3 months, a 57-year-old woman with severe low back pain and bilateral leg pain for 6 months. Conservative treatment is ineffective for both of them. DIAGNOSES: Magnetic resonance imaging and physical examination show that the patients had 2 consecutive segments lumbar degenerated disease that required surgical treatment.
interventionsConsidering the poor efficacy of conservative treatment, We performed PE-TLIF on 2 patients. OUTCOMES: Finally, both of 2 patients obtained a satisfactory short-term clinical efficacy, without any complications.What's more, the most crucial thing is that average operative time is only 205 minutes. LESSONS: The patients of continuous double-level lumbar degenerated disease treated with PE-TLIF may provide significant support in selecting the appropriate treatments for similar cases and increase the surgical indications for PE-TLIF.
