Therapy Potential of Oblique Lumbar Interbody Fusion 360 for Severe Lumbar Spinal Stenosis.

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
objectivesThe advent of O-arm navigation optimized the oblique lumbar interbody fusion (OLIF) procedure, allowing the operator to simultaneously perform OLIF and percutaneous posterior pedicle screw implantation without patient position change, thus improving the fluency and accuracy of the OLIF procedure (called as OLIF360). Nevertheless, a consensus regarding its suitability for patients with severe spinal stenosis remains elusive. This study aims to investigate the clinical efficacy of OLIF360 and its imaging changes in severe lumbar spinal stenosis cases.
methodsThis retrospective study analyzed clinical data from 63 patients with severe lumbar spinal stenosis. Fourteen patients were treated with OLIF360, and another 37 patients were treated with posterior lumbar interbody fusion (PLIF). Lumbar spinal stenosis was assessed using the modified Schizas classification. Clinical efficacy scale scores and postoperative imaging parameter changes were compared between the two groups. Shapiro-Wilk, t-tests or Mann-Whitney U tests, repeated measures ANOVA, and Bonferroni post hoc tests were applied for statistical analysis.
resultsBoth groups showed significant improved pain (p < 0.05). At 1-month and 3-month postoperative follow-ups, OLIF360 group scores superior in Visual Analog Scale than PLIF group (p < 0.05). Greater disc height and lumbar lordosis were displayed in OLIF360 group than PLIF group (p < 0.05). No significant difference in screw placement accuracy between groups was observed. Moreover, significant increases in spinal canal area postoperatively (71.04 ± 6.27 mm
conclusionOLIF360 can have promising short-term efficacy for severe lumbar stenosis treatment with shorter recovery time than PLIF.
