Discectomy with spinal anesthesia in the third trimester of pregnancy: A case report and literature review.
Article in SAGE open medical case reports, 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
Low back pain is common during pregnancy, but symptomatic lumbar disc herniation in this period is particularly rare. We report a case of lumbar disc herniation in a 35-year-old woman at 32 weeks of pregnancy, who experienced persistent symptoms despite 6 weeks of rest and medication. Muscle strength in the right L5 nerve root declined to grade 4, and intravenous analgesia was ineffective. After thorough discussions with the patient and her family, a discectomy was performed under spinal anesthesia. Following surgery, the patient's pain decreased, the Lasegue test became negative, and muscular strength returned to normal 2 weeks post-operation. At 39 weeks of gestation, a cesarean section was performed due to functional dystocia.
