Clinical and Radiological Outcomes of Full-Endoscopic Decompression for Lumbar Spinal Stenosis With Grade I Degenerative Spondylolisthesis: A Retrospective Study With a Minimum 1-Year Follow-up.
Article in Neurosurgery practice, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers.
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
BACKGROUND AND
objectivesDecompression without fusion is a surgical option for the treatment of lumbar spinal stenosis (LSS) with grade I degenerative spondylolisthesis (DS). However, the outcomes of full-endoscopic decompression remain unknown. This study aimed to investigate the clinical and radiological outcomes of lumbar full-endoscopic decompression for spinal stenosis with grade I DS.
methodsA total 43 patients with LSS with grade I DS who underwent lumbar full-endoscopic unilateral laminotomy for bilateral decompression and were followed up for a minimum of 1 year were retrospectively reviewed. Data on demographic characteristics, operative details, radiological images, clinical outcomes, and complications were analyzed.
resultsPain, evaluated using the visual analog scale, was significantly reduced in patients undergoing full-endoscopic decompression in both the leg and back; the Oswestry Disability Index scores also improved (
conclusionEndoscopic decompression alone has comparably good clinical outcomes with those of other surgical techniques in patients with LSS and DS. Few postoperative spinal instability occurred. Rather, the number of patients with instability decreased postoperatively. Full-endoscopic decompression may be a treatment option for patients with grade 1 DS.
