Lumbar Decompression is Associated With Changes in Functional Transition Biomechanics and Neuromuscular Control During Sit-to-Stand in Degenerative Lumbar Stenosis.
Article in Global spine journal, 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
Study DesignProspective cohort study.ObjectivesTo compare sit-to-stand (STS) movement patterns and characterize neuromuscular activation and compensatory strategies in patients with degenerative lumbar stenosis (DLS) before and after lumbar decompression, relative to healthy controls.MethodsThirty-five DLS patients undergoing central decompression and sixteen healthy controls were included in the study. Patients were evaluated one week preoperatively and three months postoperatively; controls were tested once. STS kinematics and muscle activation were quantified using three-dimensional motion capture and surface EMG across three trials without upper-extremity assistance. Outcomes were analyzed using linear mixed-effects regression models adjusted for age and body mass index, with subject-level random intercepts.ResultsAt peak trunk forward lean, postoperative patients shifted toward a lower-extremity-driven strategy, with greater knee flexion, reduced pelvic anterior tilt, and reduced thoracic flexion (25.9° vs 30.4°,
