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

A nonchordomatous solitary lesion of the clival bone is an exceptionally rare pathological entity, which represents a diagnostic and a therapeutic challenge. Many diseases with extremely different biological behavior, and requiring a dedicated treatment strategy, may result in similar clinical patterns. The approach to a correct differential diagnosis has to consider the specific epidemiological, radiological, and histopathological characteristics of each pathology to minimize the diagnostic bias and to allow the planning of the best treatment strategy. Because of the rarity of these diseases, a systematical review of nonchordomatous lesions of the clival bone still lack in the literature. The purposes of this study are to provide an overview of the epidemiological, clinical, radiological, and histopathological characteristics of nonchordomatous clival lesions, with particular emphasis on diagnostic and therapeutic strategies and related clinical outcome.
