Clinical observation of percutaneous transforaminal endoscopic discectomy for lumbar disc herniation and analysis of influencing factors for recurrence.
Article in American journal of translational research, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
objectiveTo investigate the clinical effects of percutaneous transforaminal endoscopic discectomy (PELD) in treating lumbar disc herniation (LDH) and analyze the related factors for postoperative recurrence.
methodsA retrospective analysis was conducted on 168 patients with lumbar disc herniation who underwent percutaneous transforaminal endoscopy at the Second Hospital of Tangshan from January 2017 to January 2021. The patients were followed up for 1 year. The Oswestry disability index (ODI) and visual analog scale (VAS) for low back pain/radicular pain were recorded before the operation and at the final follow-up. The patients' overall responses were evaluated according to Stauffer-Coventry's response evaluation criteria. Univariate analysis and multivariate logistic regression were used to analyze the relationship between basic data indicators and postoperative recurrence.
resultsCompared with preoperative values, the postoperative VAS scores and ODI indices were significantly reduced at different time points (both P < 0.05). During the final follow-up, the efficacy was rated as excellent in 55 cases, good in 59 cases, fair in 35 cases, and poor in 19 cases, with an overall excellent and good rate of 67.86%. Among them, 12 patients had postoperative recurrence, with a recurrence rate of 7.14%. Univariate analysis indicated that age ≥ 49 years, BMI ≥ 24.62 kg/m
conclusionPELD surgery for LDH can achieve favorable clinical efficacy. However, intraoperative annulus fibrosus injury and incomplete removal of the nucleus pulposus during surgery may lead to secondary recurrence in patients.
