Use of navigation to optimize awake prone lateral interbody fusion with posterior decompression and fusion.
Article in Neurosurgical focus: Video, 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
This video demonstrates the role of navigation in optimizing awake single-position prone lateral transpsoas interbody fusion with simultaneous posterior decompression and instrumentation under spinal anesthesia. Awake spine surgery is constrained by the duration of spinal anesthesia and demands a coordinated workflow, making navigation essential. The patient was a 77-year-old man with significant cardiac comorbidities and neurogenic claudication from severe L3-4 stenosis. Technical pearls are presented addressing navigational accuracy in the conscious patient and strategies promoting near-simultaneous workflow between the lateral and posterior approaches. Navigation supports both procedural accuracy and workflow efficiency throughout the case. The video can be found here: https://stream.cadmore.media/r10.3171/2026.4.FOCVID25238.
