The innovation of spinal endoscopy: one-hole bi-medium endoscopy for decompression and fusion in the treatment of lumbar degenerative diseases.

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
The spinal endoscopy technique has been widely used in the treatment of lumbar, thoracic, and cervical diseases over the past 20 years. Minimally invasive decompression, assisted by fixation and interbody fusion, is the optimal treatment for lumbar degenerative diseases, such as lumbar spondylolisthesis and lumbar spinal stenosis. Although endoscopic lumbar spinal interbody fusions have been reported, further evaluation of their effectiveness and efficacy is necessary. We innovated the spinal endoscopy technique called the one-hole bi-medium endoscopy (OBE) technique, in which lumbar interbody fusion, pedicle screw fixation, and bilateral decompression are completed through one incision under endoscopic visualization with or without liquid irrigation. The visual analog scale and Oswestry disability index scores were significantly improved after the OBE treatment. Our study concludes that the OBE procedure can simultaneously realize decompression and fusion and is effective in the treatment of lumbar diseases.
