Efficacy analysis of large-channel spinal endoscope unilateral laminotomy decompression for the treatment of multilevel cervical spinal stenosis with ligamentum flavum hypertrophy.
Article in Frontiers in surgery, 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
Objective: Cervical spinal stenosis predominantly affects the elderly. After 40 years of age, aging induces progressive loss and rupture of elastic fibers in the ligamentum flavum, accompanied by abnormal proliferation and cross-linking of collagen fibers, as well as calcium salt deposition and even ossification. This study investigates the clinical efficacy and safety of large-channel endoscopic unilateral laminotomy decompression for the treatment of multilevel cervical spinal canal stenosis. Methods: A retrospective study was conducted on 36 Cervical spinal canal stenosis patients with radiologically confirmed who underwent surgical treatment between January 2020 and December 2023.Patients were divided into two groups according to the surgical method: endoscopic group ( Results: The endoscopic group demonstrated significant advantages over the open group in operative time (1.6 ± 0.6 vs. 2.1 ± 0.2 h, Conclusion: The large-channel endoscopic unilateral laminotomy decompression demonstrates satisfactory short-term efficacy in treating multilevel Cervical Spinal Stenosis with ligamentum flavum hypertrophy. This minimally invasive technique offers significant advantages including reduced surgical trauma, accelerated recovery, enhanced postoperative cervical stability and relatively higher patient satisfaction.
