1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

backgroundThe prepsoas or oblique lateral lumbar interbody fusion (OLIF) technique is widely used for its benefits of indirect decompression, restoration of lordosis and foraminal height, and good mechanical stability for fusion. However, there are potential dangers with such techniques, such as approach-related complications. OBSERVATIONS: The authors describe the case of an iliolumbar vein (ILV) injury during an OLIF procedure and aim to provide a review of the relevant anatomy of the oblique corridor as well as the ILV. LESSONS: Additionally, the authors aimed to highlight key surgical pearls for the prevention of such complications and provide management strategies. The authors believe that the OLIF technique is a powerful tool in the spine surgeon's armamentarium, and a sound understanding of the anatomy and knowledge of preventing potential surgical complications are key to success in OLIF. https://thejns.org/doi/10.3171/CASE24743.
