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

introductionThe extirpation of skull base malignancies may be associated with significant morbidity and can profoundly impact health related quality of life (HRQOL). In this review, we sought to provide an overview of HRQOL and the factors that influence it for patients with skull base malignancies. MATERIALS AND

methodsNarrative review.

resultsHRQOL tends to improve in the months to years following treatment and is profoundly impacted by both tumor location and treatment approach. Wherever possible, HRQOL should always be elicited from the patient directly. Several HRQOL instruments have been used in this population including generic, site-specific and disease specific measures.

conclusionGiven that HRQOL is a multidimensional concept with several important facets, validated disease-specific instruments are generally preferred.
