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

introductionUnilateral biportal endoscopy (UBE) is a minimally invasive technique that has gradually gained popularity in the field of spine surgery.

aimThe aim of this study was to identify independent risk factors associated with the occurrence of perioperative complications following UBE surgery through a comprehensive retrospective analysis. MATERIALS AND

methodsConsecutive patients who underwent UBE at the Department of Orthopedics of Beijing Friendship Hospital between June 2021 and July 2024 were retrospectively analyzed. Data on demographic characteristics, comorbidities, surgery‑related parameters, and perioperative complications were extracted from medical records, and patients who did and did not develop complications were compared. Potential risk factors for perioperative complications were evaluated using univariable and multivariable logistic regression analyses.

resultsIn a cohort of 322 patients, perioperative complications were observed in 20 individuals, yielding an overall incidence rate of 6.8%. Occurrence of perioperative complications was associated with higher body mass index (BMI >28 kg/m2; P <0.001), diabetes mellitus (P <0.001), depression (P <0.001), preoperative analgesia (P = 0.03), American Society of Anesthesiologists classifiation (P <0.001), and longer operative time (>180 minutes; P <0.001). In the multivariable logistic regression analysis, surgery duration longer than 180 minutes (odds ratio [OR], 2.8; 95% CI, 1.5-5.4), depression (OR, 2.5; 95% CI, 1.3-4.7), and BMI greater than 28 kg/m2 (OR, 3.1; 95% CI, 1.7-5.9) were identified as independent risk factors for complications.

conclusionsThis study demonstrates that UBE surgery is an effective and safe minimally invasive technique for the management of lumbar degenerative diseases, with a relatively low complication rate of 6.8%. Longer operative time, preoperative depression, and a higher BMI were identified as independent risk factors for the occurrence of perioperative complications.
