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
ObjectiveA retrospective cohort study was conducted to evaluate the short-term clinical efficacy and technical advantages of arthroscopic-assisted uni-portal spinal surgery (AUSS) combined with transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion (TLIF) in the treatment of degenerative lumbar spondylolisthesis.MethodsThis study included 73 patients with low-grade degenerative lumbar spondylolisthesis who underwent surgical treatment in September 2023 and December 2024. Among these, 33 patients underwent AUSS-TLIF, and 40 underwent open TLIF. Preoperative and postoperative assessments were conducted using the visual analogue scale for low back pain and leg pain, Oswestry Disability Index, and surgery-related parameters, including operation time, intraoperative blood loss, postoperative drainage volume, slip reduction rate, and length of hospital stay. Additionally, the surgical outcomes and postoperative fusion status were compared between the two groups. Baseline data were collected and analyzed for confounding factors, including body mass index, duration of symptoms, preoperative medication history, and comorbidities (hypertension and diabetes). All patient data were anonymized to protect privacy. Normality and homogeneity of variance tests were performed for measurement data. Repeated measures analysis of variance was used for visual analog scale scores and Oswestry Disability Index values at different time points.ResultsAll 73 patients successfully underwent the surgical procedure and were followed up for 6 months. Preoperative comparisons of visual analog scale scores and Oswestry Disability Index values between the two groups revealed no statistically significant differences (
