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: To evaluate the clinical efficacy and radiological outcomes of unilateral biportal endoscopic (UBE) discectomy combined with annulus fibrosus suturing compared with UBE discectomy alone in the treatment of lumbar disc herniation (LDH). Methods: A total of 62 LDH patients with LDH who underwent UBE surgery at the Affiliated Hospital of Jiangsu University between February and June 2024 were enrolled. Patients were divided into two groups: the discectomy with annulus suture group (Suture Group, Results: All operations were completed successfully, and all patients were followed up for more than 1 year. There were no statistically significant differences between the two groups in postoperative ambulation time or length of hospital stay ( Conclusion: In selected patients with single-level lower lumbar paracentral LDH, both UBE discectomy alone and UBE combined with annular suturing provided favorable short-term outcomes.
