Percutaneous transforaminal endoscopic treatment of gas-containing pseudocyst compressing the L5 nerve root: A case report.
Article in World journal of orthopedics, 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
backgroundGas-containing pseudocysts rarely cause of lumbar radiculopathy. This report describes successful treatment of a gas-containing pseudocyst using percutaneous transforaminal endoscopy. CASE SUMMARY: A 48-year-old man presented with severe pain and numbness in his right leg, which worsened upon walking or weight bearing. Computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging revealed a gas-containing cyst compressing the left L5 nerve root at the L4-5 level. The pseudocyst was successfully removed using a percutaneous transforaminal endoscopic discectomy. Vivid and clear endoscopic imaging of the pseudocysts was performed intraoperatively. The patient experienced immediate pain relief and was discharged one day after the operation. The patient returned to work. Moreover, numbness in the right leg returned to normal within 6 months. At the one-year follow-up, there was no symptoms recurrence.
conclusionTransforaminal endoscopy offers excellent surgical visualization and facilitates meticulous operative manipulation, making it a minimally invasive approach for treating gas-containing pseudocysts in the intervertebral foramen.
