Influence of decompression by laminotomy and percutaneous tansforaminal endoscopic surgery on postoperative wound healing, pain intensity, and lumbar function in elderly patients with lumbar spinal stenosis.
Article in Annals of medicine, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
purposeTo compare the wound healing, pain intensity and lumbar function in elderly patients with lumbar spinal stenosis after laminectomy decompression or percutaneous transforaminal endoscopic surgery.
methodsA retrospective study was conducted on 65 patients who underwent laminotomy and 69 patients who underwent percutaneous transforaminal endoscopic spinal decompression surgery. clinical data analysis, including surgical parameters, complications, postoperative wound healing, pain intensity, lumbar function, and correlation analysis, was performed.
resultsThe operative time of percutaneous transforaminal endoscopic surgery was significantly shorter than that of laminotomy (70.78±6.80 min vs 128.97±4.70 min,
conclusionPercutaneous transforaminal endoscopic surgery is significantly superior to conventional laminectomy decompression in the treatment of elderly lumbar spinal stenosis.
