Two-dimensional fluoroscopic instrument tracking-assisted prone lateral lumbar interbody fusion.

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
A 55-year-old male with prior L5-S1 posterior lumbar interbody fusion developed adjacent segment degeneration with severe stenosis at L3-4 and L4-5 and underwent L3-5 prone lateral lumbar interbody fusion with extension of fusion using 2D fluoroscopic instrument tracking (2D-FIT). The TrackX system used standard anteroposterior and lateral fluoroscopic images to assist with trajectory planning, docking, retractor placement, disc preparation, trialing, and cage delivery. Simultaneous percutaneous pedicle screw fixation was performed by a co-surgeon to improve single-position efficiency. There were no intraoperative complications, neurological examinations remained stable, and hardware alignment was satisfactory. The patient was discharged home on postoperative day 3. Two-dimensional FIT helps improve efficiency without compromising safety. The video can be found here: https://stream.cadmore.media/r10.3171/2026.4.FOCVID2643.
