From surgery to neurosurgery: our experience on the efficacy of fleece-bound sealing (TachoSil®) for dural repair.

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
aimTo report on our routine use of TachoSil® for dural repair in neurosurgical practice.
methodTachoSil® has been applied in different fields of surgery thus far. When using TachoSil®, fibrinogen and thrombin is provided locally at the site of the dural defects. Upon contact with fluid, the clotting factors of TachoSil® dissolve and form a fibrin network, which glues the collagen sponge to the wound surface.
resultsIn our experience, TachoSil® was found to be effective as support for the suture of the dura in patients undergoing spinal and cranial neurosurgical operations. Two illustrative examples are shown.
conclusionsOur procedure showed that closing the dural defect with TachoSil® is a technically simple, reliable and safe method for patients. Indeed, no post-operative cerebrospinal fluid leakage was observed. Nonetheless, further studies with larger sample size are warranted to confirm the efficacy of TachoSil® patches for dural repair.
