Real-time video communication during percutaneous transforaminal endoscopic discectomy is beneficial to postoperative recovery: a single-center retrospective study.

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 evaluate the effect of intraoperative viewing of real-time surgical video and communication among patients on postoperative recovery and satisfaction after percutaneous transforaminal endoscopic discectomy (PTED).
methodPatients admitted to our medical center from January 1, 2021 to December 1, 2023 who underwent PTED for L4/5 lumbar disc herniation were collected. We finally included 77 patients who met the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Patients were categorized into communication (CM) group (n = 39) and non-communication (NCM) group (n = 38) according to whether they had intraoperative real-time surgical video viewing and communication. Preoperative baseline data, operative time, postoperative hospitalization time, Visual Analogue Scale(VAS) score, lumbar Japanese Orthopaedic Association (JOA) score, surgical complications and patient satisfaction were compared between the two groups.
resultPatients in the CM group had less pain, faster functional recovery, shorter hospitalization, and higher satisfaction in the early postoperative period. The NCM group had a shorter operative time. However, patients in the CM group had lower VAS scores on the first day after surgery and at 1 month after surgery than those in the NCM group. And JOA scores were better in the communication group at the first week and first month after operation. There was no significant difference between the two groups in terms of VAS scores, JOA scores, and postoperative complications in the third and sixth postoperative months.
conclusionAllowing patients to watch real-time surgical videos and engage in intraoperative communication during PTED surgery is a feasible way to reduce early postoperative pain, accelerate functional recovery, and improve patient satisfaction.
