Minimally Invasive Surgery in Adult Spinal Deformity and the Future.
Article in Global spine journal, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Study DesignNarrative review.ObjectivesThe purpose of this literature review is to evaluate various MIS techniques, assesses their roles in ASD when compared to traditional open surgery, and highlight potential future directions in minimally invasive spine surgery. Correction of spinal malalignment and decompression of neural elements through surgical intervention in adult spinal deformity (ASD) has demonstrated significant improvements in health-related quality of life (HRQOL) metrics. Historically, open surgery has been the primary approach to ensure sufficient decompression and alignment in ASD patients. However, advancements in MIS techniques, equipment, and extensive experience in managing degenerative pathologies have enabled effective corrections using less invasive methods.MethodsAn extensive review of MIS and open techniques for ASD was conducted.ResultsThis review evaluates various MIS techniques, assesses their roles in ASD when compared to traditional open surgery, and highlights potential future directions in minimally invasive spine surgery.ConclusionsThe evaluation of various minimally invasive surgery (MIS) techniques in treating adult spinal deformity (ASD) compared to traditional open surgery reveals significant advantages. MIS has progressed from initially treating simple degenerative pathologies to effectively addressing complex ASD cases. This evolution underscores the increasing role of MIS in ASD treatment. Over the past two decades, there has been a noticeable shift towards the mainstream adoption of MIS techniques, reflecting their growing prevalence and acceptance within the medical community. Looking ahead, ongoing advancements and innovations in minimally invasive spine surgery suggest exciting potential future directions for improving outcomes in ASD patients and expanding the application of MIS in spine deformity correction.
