Analysis of the therapeutic efficacy of OLIF combined with posterior percutaneous pedicle screw fixation in the treatment of patients with primary lumbar spondylodiscitis.

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
Introduction: Primary lumbar spondylodiscitis is a serious condition with an increasing incidence rate. Methods: From January 2021 to June 2023, we adopted a single-stage oblique lateral approach for the debridement of lumbar infection foci, intervertebral bone grafting fusion, tube irrigation drainage, combined with posterior percutaneous pedicle screw fixation for the treatment of primary lumbar spondylodiscitis. Results: We found that this surgical technique significantly improved the patients' lower back pain symptoms. During postoperative follow-ups at 1, 3, 6, and 12 months, patients showed remarkable improvements in their JOA and VAS scores, as well as in ESR and CRP levels, compared to the preoperative period. Discussion: We believe that the single-stage oblique lateral approach for debridement of lumbar infection foci, intervertebral bone grafting fusion, tube irrigation drainage, and combined posterior percutaneous pedicle screw fixation is an ideal treatment method for primary lumbar spondylodiscitis. This technique offers thorough debridement of the infection focus, sufficient bone grafting, safe operation, and reliable fixation.
