1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Background: Minimally invasive spine (MIS) surgery has been shown to reduce tissue trauma and perioperative morbidity; however, its safety and effectiveness in diabetic patients remain uncertain. Here, we evaluated the impact of diabetes mellitus on postoperative complications and outcomes following minimally invasive lumbar spine procedures. Methods: This systematic review utilized Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines and was registered in The International Prospective Register of Systematic Reviews (PROSPERO). A comprehensive literature search was performed across PubMed, Scopus, Embase, and Web of Science databases through January 2025. Studies were included if they evaluated adult diabetic patients undergoing MIS lumbar discectomy, interbody fusion, or decompression. Methodological quality was assessed using the Newcastle-Ottawa scale. Results: A total of 16 studies were included: eleven focused on interbody fusion or discectomy ( Conclusion: Despite some variability in perioperative risks, MIS appears to offer safe and effective outcomes for diabetic patients. The long-term benefits are largely similar to those observed in nondiabetic populations.
