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

Cranial meningoencephalocele is a rare condition consisting of the herniation of meninges, CSF, and brain tissue through a cranial or skull base defect. Sphenoid sinus lateral recess meningoencephalocele is of particular interest due to the complex anatomy surrounding the bone defect and their demanding surgical management. In this technical note, we reported a step-by-step description of a rare case of sphenoid sinus lateral recess meningoencephalocele causing headache due to recurrent cerebrospinal fluid leak treated with a subtemporal craniotomy with extradural middle cranial fossa drilling and meningoencephalocele removal with multilayer reconstruction. The transcranial route is a safe and effective treatment for sphenoid sinus lateral recess meningoencephalocele repair. The subtemporal extradural approach allows for an optimal exposure of the relevant anatomy minimizing risks and improving the possibility to perform an effective multilayer skull base reconstruction.
