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
Objective: To explore the clinical efficacy of mini-incision oblique lumbar interbody fusion (OLIF) and anterolateral screw-rod fixation through the approach between the great vessels and the psoas muscle for the surgical treatment of L5 spondylolisthesis. Methods: From December 2019 to February 2021, patients with L5 spondylolisthesis undergoing OLIF51 (L5-S1 OLIF) using the OLIF25 (L2-5 OLIF) cage and anterolateral screw-rod fixation were enrolled in this retrospective study. The gender, age, BMI, BMD, operation time, intraoperative blood loss, intraoperative fluoroscopy, surgical segments, cage length and height, incision length, drainage removal time, hospitalization time, intraoperative and postoperative complications, and other relevant data of all patients were recorded. Visual analog scale (VAS) and Oswestry disability index (ODI) were used to evaluate the symptoms, signs, and neurological function of all patients before surgery and during postoperative follow-up. Results: There were 26 cases of L5 spondylolisthesis enrolled. The average operation time was 117.3 ± 13.0 minutes. The mean intraoperative fluoroscopy usage was 11 (8-19) times. The mean blood loss was 20 (10-55) mL, and the average incision length was 48.5 ± 3.7 mm. The drainage removal time was 2 (1-3) days. The mean hospital stay duration was 5 (3-6) days, and the follow-up duration was 29.8 ± 4.1 months. For the clinical evaluation, the VAS of back and leg pain significantly dropped after surgery ( Conclusion: This study introduces a promising novel approach for treating L5 spondylolisthesis using a mini-incision OLIF51 with a larger OLIF25 cage and anterolateral screw-rod fixation. This method may offer advantages such as reduced blood loss, rapid postoperative recovery, and enhanced support and biomechanical stability.
