Risk factors for postoperative ileus following transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion: a retrospective study.
Article in Journal of orthopaedic surgery and research, 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
backgroundTransforaminal lumbar interbody fusion (TLIF) is a widely applicable spinal surgical technique. However, there is still a shortage of understanding of the risk of postoperative ileus (POI) following TLIF. We aimed to explore these potential risks and analyze the adverse effects that POI may cause.
methodsA retrospective analysis was conducted on the medical records of patients undergoing TLIF at a single tertiary care institution between January 2018 and December 2024. Patients were divided into the POI group and non-POI group according to whether they presented with two or more gastrointestinal manifestations at 72 h postoperatively. Demographic characteristics, comorbidities, surgical factors, and postoperative factors were recorded. Univariate analysis was used to identify potential risk factors for POI, and multivariate logistic regression analysis was employed to determine independent risk factors. Finally, analyze the adverse effects of POI.
resultsThirty-six patients developed POI following TLIF, with an incidence rate of 8.04% (36/448). Multivariable logistic regression analysis identified anxiety disorders [odds ratio (OR) = 6.380, 95% confidence interval (95% CI) 1.793-22.711, P = 0.004], open TLIF (O-TLIF) (OR = 3.303, 95% CI 1.035-10.538, P = 0.044), application of patient-controlled analgesia (PCA) (OR = 8.962, 95% CI 1.066-75.308, P = 0.043), and crystalloid fluid administration within 72 h postoperatively (CFA-Postop72h) > 35 ml/kg/day (OR = 11.310, 95% CI 5.166-24.759, P < 0.001) as independent risk factors for POI following TLIF. There was a weak positive association between opioid consumption in PCA and the occurrence of POI (r = 0.223, P < 0.001). Patients with POI had significantly longer postoperative length of stay and a higher risk of hypoproteinemia than the control group (P < 0.05).
conclusionsThis study confirmed that anxiety disorders, O-TLIF, application of PCA, and excessive CFA-Postop72h are independent risk factors for POI following TLIF.
