Biportal Endoscopic Surgery With Trans-Pedicle Approach Treat Central Cervical Disc Herniation: A Keyhole Technique With Assisting Portals.
Article in Clinical spine surgery, 2026. 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
STUDY
designCase series.
objectivesAnterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF) is the standard treatment for central cervical disc herniation but may cause complications like loss of motion, dysphagia, and adjacent segment degeneration. This study evaluates a novel Biportal Endoscopic Spinal Surgery with trans-pedicle approach (BESS-TPA) as a minimally invasive alternative, preserving cervical mobility by avoiding instrumentation. MATERIALS AND
methodsA retrospective analysis of 24 patients with central cervical disc herniation who underwent BESS-TPA at a single center from July 2022 to June 2023 was performed. Clinical outcomes were assessed using the modified Japanese Orthopaedic Association (mJOA) scores, SF-36 pain and physical function domains, and modified MacNab criteria. Radiographic evaluation with X-rays, CT, and MRI examined structural changes and surgical outcomes.
resultsAll patients experienced significant symptom relief. Postoperative MRI confirmed complete resection of the herniated disc using the posterior approach.
conclusionsBESS-TPA provides a safe, effective, and minimally invasive alternative to ACDF for selected central or paracentral cervical disc herniation. It facilitates access to the ventral dura sac, enabling safer central discectomy while maintaining cervical spine mobility.
