Unilateral Biportal Endoscopic Resection of Thoracic Hemivertebra in a Child: A Case Report Highlighting Technical Feasibility and the Critical Importance of Stabilization.
Article in Clinical case reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
Unilateral biportal endoscopy (UBE) is technically feasible for complete thoracic hemivertebra resection in young children. However, combining it with unilateral short-segment percutaneous fixation proved biomechanically insufficient, leading to instrumentation failure and deformity progression. Mechanical stability, potentially requiring bilateral fixation, remains paramount in pediatric deformity correction, even when pursuing minimal invasiveness.
