Breaking Barriers in Spine Surgery: Unilateral Biportal Endoscopy as a Trailblazer from Decompression to Fusion.
Article in Journal of orthopaedic case reports, 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
Survival analysis is critical in orthopaedics for determining how long procedures such as joint replacements and spinal operations are successful. Traditional approaches do not account for the timing of events such as implant failure or problems, whereas survival analysis does, allowing surgeons to make informed judgments. Key approaches for assessing risk variables and implant lifetime include Kaplan-Meier curves, log-rank tests, and Cox regression. This approach improves the evaluation of treatments across joint arthroplasty, fracture care, and spine surgery. Despite limitations such as data shortages and model assumptions, combining survival analysis with emerging technologies such as electronic health records and artificial intelligence improves personalised patient care and long-term outcome prediction, eventually leading to better surgical treatment.
