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

This video demonstrates CT-based navigated single-position lateral transpsoas interbody fusion with posterior percutaneous instrumentation. Intraoperative 3D navigation is integrated throughout the procedure to optimize trajectory planning, corridor docking, and implant placement. Navigated lateral surgery enables real-time visualization of the psoas and anterior vascular structures, helping mitigate neurovascular injury and anterior visceral complications during transpsoas access. By enhancing anatomical precision and reducing reliance on fluoroscopy, navigation may improve safety, streamline workflow, and further advance minimally invasive lateral fusion techniques. The video can be found here: https://stream.cadmore.media/r10.3171/2026.4.FOCVID2651.
