Short-term Clinical and Radiographic Outcomes of Transforaminal Full-endoscopic Pars Crisscross Decompression of the Exiting Nerve Root under Local Anesthesia in Adult Isthmic Spondylolisthesis.
Article in Neurologia medico-chirurgica, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
In adult isthmic spondylolysis/spondylolisthesis, a fibrocartilaginous mass, ragged edge, and decrease in disk height cause radiculopathy with intervertebral foraminal stenosis. There are few reports on the outcomes of full-endoscopic spine surgery for isthmic spondylolisthesis because of difficulty in the ragged edge resection. This study evaluated the short-term outcomes of our original full-endoscopic spine surgery technique in patients with isthmic spondylolisthesis with a focus on the "pars crisscross." An important landmark, the pars crisscross consist of the superior articular process at S1, floating lamina, inferior articular process at L4, and pars ragged edge. The exiting nerve root can only be decompressed by complete resection of the ragged edge after confirmation of the pars crisscross. This case series includes 6 patients (mean age 63.2 ± 14.3 years) who underwent full-endoscopic spine surgery under local anesthesia for radiculopathy. The leg pain improved immediately after surgery in all patients and the mean visual analog scale score improved from 8.2 ± 1.3 preoperatively to 1.2 ± 1.1 at 2 weeks postoperatively. The neuroforaminal area at the inlet and center expanded dramatically from 184 ± 41 mm
