Feasibility of Outpatient Transforaminal Lumbar Interbody Fusion (TLIF) in Chronic Inflammatory Demyelinating Polyneuropathy: A Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (CIDP) is a rare autoimmune neuropathy characterized by progressive motor and sensory dysfunction. Anesthetic management is challenging due to increased sensitivity to neuromuscular blockers, heightened pain perception, and potential postoperative respiratory compromise. There is limited evidence on the feasibility of outpatient surgery in CIDP patients. We present the case of a 62-year-old male with stable CIDP who underwent minimally invasive transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion (TLIF) as a day-case procedure. Anesthetic management included total intravenous anesthesia (TIVA) without neuromuscular blockade, careful intra- and postoperative monitoring, and multimodal analgesia. The patient experienced no complications and was safely discharged within 24 hours. This report supports the potential feasibility of outpatient spinal surgery in carefully selected CIDP patients, highlighting the importance of multidisciplinary planning and institutional capacity for safe perioperative care.
