Robot-navigated minimally invasive transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion workflow.
Article in Neurosurgical focus: Video, 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
This video demonstrates the robot-navigated minimally invasive transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion (MIS-TLIF) technique for spondylolisthesis. Navigation and robotics enhance accuracy in pedicle screw placement, reduce operative time and radiation exposure, and improve patient recovery. The case of a 70-year-old patient with L4-5 spondylolisthesis and spinal stenosis is presented. Key surgical steps include intraoperative imaging, preoperative planning, robot-guided screw placement, targeted decompression, and interbody cage implantation. The workflow optimizes safety and efficiency while minimizing tissue disruption. Postoperative imaging confirms precise implant positioning and spondylolisthesis correction, demonstrating how robotics and navigation contribute to superior surgical precision, reproducibility, and improved clinical outcomes.
