Clinical efficacy of one-hole split endoscopy vs. unilateral biportal endoscopy for the treatment of single-segment lumbar spinal stenosis: a retrospective study with 2-year follow-up.
Article in Frontiers in surgery, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
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: One-hole split endoscopy (OSE) is a novel endoscopic technique proposed by Chinese scholars in recent years. Currently, data is lacking regarding the long-term efficacy of OSE for treating lumbar spinal stenosis (LSS). This study aimed to compare the long-term efficacy of OSE and unilateral biportal endoscopy (UBE) in LSS treatment. Methods: The clinical data of 77 patients diagnosed with LSS at our hospital between January 2020 and March 2022 were retrospectively analyzed. Forty-one patients were treated with OSE, and 36 were treated with UBE. Perioperative indicators such as operation time, blood loss, fluoroscopy times, incision length, hospital stay, follow-up time, complications, and C-reactive protein level preoperatively and 3 days postoperatively were recorded. Visual analog score (VAS) and Oswestry disability index (ODI) were recorded preoperatively and at 1, 3, 6, 12, and 24 months postoperatively to evaluate pain and functional disability. The dural sac cross-sectional area (CSA), lumbar range of motion (ROM), and sagittal translation (ST) of the surgical segment were recorded preoperatively and 3 days postoperatively to evaluate lumbar stability. Clinical efficacy was assessed at the final follow-up using the modified Macnab criteria. Results: VAS and ODI scores significantly improved at each postoperative follow-up in both groups compared with preoperative values ( Conclusion: OSE and UBE showed satisfactory long-term efficacy and safety for LSS treatment. However, OSE has a shorter operation time, less blood loss, and shorter incision length, and can be an alternative to UBE.
