Oblique lateral interbody fusion versus transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion for single-level lumbar adjacent segment disease: a retrospective comparative study of clinical and radiographic outcomes.

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 compare the clinical and radiographic outcomes of oblique lateral lumbar interbody fusion (OLIF) versus transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion (TLIF) for single-level lumbar adjacent segment disease (ASDis). Methods: A retrospective study was conducted on 107 patients who underwent revision surgery for single-level ASDis. Patients were divided into OLIF group ( Results: OLIF had significantly longer operative time (308.5 ± 62.7 vs. 271.3 ± 55.9 min, Conclusion: OLIF and TLIF provide equivalent clinical outcomes for single-level lumbar ASDis. OLIF offers advantages in reducing intraoperative blood loss and restoring segmental radiographic parameters, at the cost of longer operative time. TLIF is associated with shorter surgery. Both techniques have comparable complication and fusion rates. Surgical choice should be individualized.
