One-stage posterior surgical treatment of the rare thoracolumbar spine process and laminar nucleus with incomplete paralysis: a retrospective study.
Article in BMC surgery, 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
backgroundThe study was to evaluate the results of the one-stage posterior approach in treating patients with the rare thoracic and lumbar spinous process and vertebral laminae tuberculosis of the spine with incomplete paralysis. MATERIALS AND
methods21 patients who were treated with bone graft fusion, debridement, spinal canal decompression, and posterior transpedicle internal fixation vie one-stage posterior approach were collected and analyzed. The data was collected at perioperative period and at the final follow-up visit.
resultsThe follow up time was at an average of 21.62 ± 2.17 months. The mean age of these patients was 44.81 ± 17.76 years. The intraoperative blood loss and operative time were 538.09 ± 180.21 mL and170.95 ± 20.08 min, respectively. The C-reactive protein (CRP) level and erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) decreased to normal by the last follow-up evaluation. The Oswestry Disability Index (ODI)and visual analogue scale (VAS) were substantially improved 4 weeks postoperatively and at the last follow-up evaluation (P < 0.05). The incomplete paralysis had improved significantly at the last follow-up evaluation based on the American Spinal Injury Association (ASIA) grade (P < 0.05). All patients achieved the bony fusion criteria. The average fusion time was 11.200 ± 2.16 months.
conclusionsThe one-stage posterior approach is an efficient and safe surgical option for treating thoracic and lumbar spinous processes and vertebral laminae tuberculosis of the spine with incomplete paralysis. Surgical decompression is very necessary for the recovery of neurological function.
