Arthroscopic-assisted uni-portal spinal surgery technology in the treatment of far-out syndrome: A case report and literature review.
Review in The Journal of international medical research, 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
This study presents the case of a male patient in his early 50s who was admitted with complaints of "recurrent low back pain accompanied by radiating pain in the left lower extremity for 3 years, with exacerbation over the past month." Physical examination indicated that his symptoms were due to compression of the left L5 nerve root. Imaging findings corroborated the diagnosis of far-out syndrome secondary to left L5 nerve root compression caused by lateral osteophyte hyperplasia of the L5 and S1 vertebrae. Arthroscopic-assisted uni-portal spinal surgery was performed to treat the condition, during which the hyperplastic osteophytes were resected to achieve complete decompression of the affected nerve root. The patient showed significant symptomatic improvement postoperatively. At the 6-month follow-up, there was no recurrence, and his muscle strength and sensation had fully recovered. This case report aimed to provide a feasible minimally invasive alternative for the diagnosis and management of patients with similar conditions.
