1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

introductionThe unilateral biportal endoscopy (UBE) technique has demonstrated favorable outcomes in lumbar discectomy and decompressive laminectomy. IntraSPINE is an innovative interlaminar dynamic stabilization device providing a minimally-invasive alternative for the treatment of degenerative lumbar diseases.

aimThe objective of this study was to describe the rationale, surgical technique, and preliminary results of an innovative approach involving integration of UBE discectomy and interlaminar stabilization using IntraSPINE for the treatment of huge lumbar disc herniation (LDH). MATERIALS AND

methodsWe analyzed 5 consecutive patients with huge LDH who underwent UBE decompressive laminectomy and discectomy combined with IntraSPINE interlaminar dynamic stabilization at our hospital between May and August 2023. The IntraSPINE interlaminar spacer was implanted contralaterally to the symptomatic interlaminar space with the assistance of UBE. X-ray, computed tomography, and magnetic resonance imaging were used to evaluate the range of segmental movement, posterior disc height (PDH), and disc degeneration at the baseline, after surgery, and at the final follow-up. Clinical outcomes were assessed using the Visual Analog Scale (VAS) and the Oswestry Disability Index (ODI).

resultThe procedure was successfully completed in all patients. Postoperative radiological imaging showed an increase in PDH and no exacerbation of lumbar disc degeneration. The VAS and ODI scores recorded after surgery and at the final follow-up visit improved remarkably, as compared with the baseline values. No surgery-related complications were reported.

conclusionThe combination of UBE and IntraSPINE technology demonstrated good short-term outcomes. The advantages of this hybrid approach include maintaining intervertebral height, preserving intervertebral disc structure, and minimal invasiveness.
