Comparative outcomes of arthroscopy-assisted uniportal spinal surgery vs. unilateral biportal endoscopy for adjacent two-segment lumbar disc herniation: a retrospective cohort study.
Article in Frontiers in surgery, 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
Purpose: To compare the clinical efficacy and perioperative outcomes of arthroscopy-assisted uniportal spinal surgery (AUSS) and unilateral biportal endoscopy (UBE) for the treatment of adjacent two-segment lumbar disc herniation (AT-LDH). Methods: In this retrospective cohort study, we analyzed the data of 59 patients with AT-LDH admitted to our department between January 2020 and May 2025. Of these, 33 patients underwent AUSS and 26 underwent UBE. The primary outcome measures were the visual analog scale (VAS) for low back and leg pain and Oswestry disability index (ODI). Secondary outcomes included operative time, number of intraoperative fluoroscopies, incision length, length of hospital stay, perioperative hemoglobin change, complications, facet joint preservation, and serum inflammatory markers. Results: Both the AUSS and UBE groups exhibited significant postoperative improvements in VAS and ODI compared with baseline ( Conclusion: Both AUSS and UBE provided satisfactory short-term clinical outcomes for AT-LDH. AUSS offers advantages of reduced invasiveness, greater surgical efficiency, and lower inflammatory response, supporting its broader clinical application.
