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

Minimally invasive spine surgery continues to evolve, with the single-position prone transpsoas lateral approach offering simultaneous lateral and posterior access without repositioning. This technique minimizes tissue disruption while enabling efficient single-position surgery. The authors present the case of a 57-year-old male with left-sided back pain and radiculopathy recalcitrant to conservative treatment. MRI revealed multilevel degeneration, with single photon emission CT (SPECT) highlighting L2-3 pathology. After exhausting conservative measures, he underwent a minimally invasive prone lateral lumbar interbody fusion at L2-3 with the use of navigation. This video highlights the technical steps and advantages of this approach and navigated technique. The video can be found here: https://stream.cadmore.media/r10.3171/2026.4.FOCVID2639.
