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

Intimate knowledge of local anatomy is required, especially in the biportal endoscopic approach due to its minimally invasive nature. Conditions such as aberrant anatomy, advanced degeneration, and deformities can make endoscopic lumbar decompression more challenging. The computed tomography (CT)-based surgical navigation system is employed with the biportal endoscopic technique to manage lumbar compressive pathologies. The CT-based navigation system offers clear advantages in precision, allowing for careful decompression without excessive bony work, thus preventing instability and reducing the chance of wrong-level surgery. We describe the general steps, indications, advantages, surgical tips, limitations, and ways to avoid complications. In conclusion, the use of CT-based navigation for biportal endoscopic lumbar decompression is an effective and precise strategy, particularly in more complex cases with challenging anatomy, multilevel pathologies, or significant anatomical variations.
