Early Acute Spinal Subdural Hematoma Following Multilevel Bilateral Lumbar Decompression via a Unilateral Approach: 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
We report a case diagnosed with lumbar spinal stenosis who underwent reoperation for a spinal subdural hematoma (SSH) following minimally invasive lumbar decompression in the early postoperative period. This study aimed to discuss the management of this rare complication. A female patient with spinal stenosis underwent an uncomplicated left-sided, unilateral, three-level lumbar hemilaminectomy for bilateral decompression. However, six hours after surgery, she developed numbness and weakness in the right foot. An urgent lumbar MRI revealed an acute SSH at the operated levels. When paraparesis developed within minutes, the patient underwent emergency re-exploration. To our knowledge, this is the first reported case of SSH developing in the very early postoperative period. SSH is a rare complication that should be considered in patients presenting with progressive neurological deficits after spinal surgery. Prompt evacuation of the hematoma remains the most appropriate treatment.
