Robotically assisted spondylodesis for left-sided herniated disc L4-5 and spondylolysis L5-S1.
Article in Neurosurgical focus: Video, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Robotic spine surgery is a rapidly developing field and offers several advantages for both patients and the surgical team. Several studies have shown greater accuracy in screw placement, less blood loss, less radiation exposure, and fewer reoperations compared with freehand procedures. Here the authors present the case of a 40-year-old woman with a herniated disc at level L4-5 and spondylolysis at level L5-S1. They performed robot-assisted spondylodesis using midline cortical screws in both levels due to foot-drop paralysis and refractory pain and present their workflow for robot-assisted spondylodesis.
