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

Lumbar disc herniation is one of the main causes of root pain and disability in the adult population, with a significant impact on the healthcare system and labor productivity. Initial management is predominantly conservative, but a portion of patients may evolve with refractory symptoms or progressive neurological deficit, requiring surgical intervention. Over the past few decades, minimally invasive techniques, such as endoscopic surgery, have revolutionized treatment with less tissue damage, accelerated recovery, and lower complication rates. This article reviews the evolution of surgical techniques, highlighting comparative evidence among them and the emerging role of new technologies.
