Temporary Relative Lumbar Spinal Stenosis After Skip Partial Laminectomies in an Elderly Woman: 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
Lumbar spinal stenosis is common and mostly caused by age-related spine degeneration. When conservative treatment is not successful, surgery is typically performed. We encountered a 79-year-old female patient who developed spinal canal stenosis at an unoperated level after partial skip laminectomies at multiple lumbar levels. On postoperative day two, she developed paraparesis, and magnetic resonance imaging showed lumbar spinal canal stenosis at a level that was normal before surgery. Her paraparesis resolved two weeks after surgery. Repeat imaging at the three-month follow-up showed an improvement in the lumbar stenosis. We consider this phenomenon to be "negative pressure concentration in the dural canal" based on the Venturi effect and Bernoulli's principle.
