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.

OBJECTIVE AND

conclusionNeurosurgery is probably the most constantly developing specialty of all times. Its dimension is enormous and its history, Ancient. The evolution of neurosurgery from the Mayan and Egyptian periods to the Renaissance and the 21st century was the result of many physicians and patients whose experiences lead to the revolution of modernization. Today, the field of neurosurgery is continuously expanding, aiming to introduce knowledge and technologies that could provide a new futuristic wave of medicine.

methodsGiven this background, our team selected relevant data from Medline published between 1936 and 2017.

resultsWe included 91 articles on this topic, all of them providing enough information about the revolution and progress of brain surgery through the centuries as well as its potential expansion in the future.
