Effect and safety of percutaneous endoscopic interlaminar discectomy for L5-S1 disc herniation: direct inferior endplate approach versus indirect approach.
Article in European spine journal : official publication of the European Spine Society, the European Spinal Deformity Society, and the European Section of the Cervical Spine Research Society, 2025.

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
objectiveTo explore the efficacy and safety of the direct inferior endplate approach in percutaneous endoscopic interlaminar discectomy (PEID) for the treatment of L5-S1 disc herniation.
methodsThis was a retrospective analysis of 116 patients with L5-S1 disc herniation treated with PEID; 74 patients underwent surgery via the direct inferior endplate approach (group A), and 42 patients underwent surgery via the indirect approach (group B). The number of intraoperative fluoroscopy exposures, establishment channel time, operation time, postoperative visual analogue scale (VAS) score, and Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) were compared between the 2 groups.
resultsCompared with those in Group B, the channel establishment time, number of fluoroscopy exposures, and operation time in Group A were significantly lower (P < 0.05). There was no significant difference in the VAS score or ODI between the two groups (P > 0.05).
conclusionsCompared with the indirect approach, the direct inferior endplate approach can allow the exposed target to be reached more quickly, shorten the operation time, and reduce the degree of radiation exposure of doctors and patients, resulting in a high safety profile.
