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

Unilateral biportal endoscopic surgery has received attention in the field of minimally invasive spinal surgery because of its various advantages, including minimized musculoligamentous injury, low postoperative pain, and faster recovery, compared with conventional open spinal surgery. Navigation system advancements have improved the precision of instrument placement and cage positioning, thereby facilitating the insertion of larger cages in the unilateral biportal endoscopic transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion (UBE-TLIF). In this study, we demonstrated the safety and efficacy of lateral lumbar interbody fusion cage insertion in UBE-TLIF with the assistance of O-arm navigation.
