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

Lumbar spondylolisthesis can lead to symptoms of mechanical back pain and radiculopathy. Surgical treatment aims to address dynamic instability and foraminal stenoses. While various alternatives exist to treat this clinical presentation, the single-position prone lateral interbody fusion has recently emerged as a popular technique. This operative video illustrates the treatment of a grade 1 L3-4 spondylolisthesis with a single-position prone lateral transpsoas interbody fusion with percutaneous instrumentation using the Mazor X Stealth robotic system. Detailed step-by-step techniques with operative pearls are provided to help surgeons incorporate the nuances of robotic navigation to the single-position prone lateral procedure. The video can be found here: https://stream.cadmore.media/r10.3171/2025.4.FOCVID24148.
