Skull Base Dural Thickness and Relationship to Demographic Features: A Postmortem Study and Literature Review.
Article in Journal of neurological surgery. Part B, Skull base, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 papers.
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
Dural membrane is an important anatomic structure that surrounds and protects the entire central nervous system. Physical properties of the dura have many pathophysiological and therapeutic implications in cranial surgery, especially skull base disorders. The aim of this study is to investigate variation in skull base dural thickness and correlation with different demographic parameters. At the time of autopsy, the petrous apex dura with the underlying bone of 20 cadavers was harvested. Dural thickness was independently measured by two pathologists at the thinnest and thickest segments in the specimen. Correlational analyses were then performed to compare dural thickness with gender, age, neck circumference, height, weight, and body mass index (BMI). Mean, minimum, and maximum skull base dural thickness in our study was 0.36, 0.27, and 0.46 mm, respectively. Age demonstrated a negative correlation with dural thickness with significantly thinner dura in the older subjects,
