Sella turcica bridging: a systematic review.
Synthesis in Surgical and radiologic anatomy : SRA, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
purposeSella turcica bridging (STB) has significant implications during neurosurgery, since it alters regional anatomy; however, no studies have investigated the global prevalence of STB. Our systematic review aimed to establish the global prevalence of STB, in specimens/individuals with and without comorbidities, in males and females, and of partial, complete, unilateral, and bilateral bridging.
methodsA literature search was conducted in MEDLINE/PubMed, ScienceDirect, and Google Scholar with various key words relating to Sella turcica bridging. Quantitative data were extracted and statistically analysed.
resultsEighty-two studies satisfied our inclusion criteria. The mean prevalence of STB was 26.54%, and most prevalent in Europe. STB was detected more frequently using radiological investigations. STB was less prevalent in healthy individuals (21.12%) when compared to individuals with comorbidities (33.31%). Partial STB was found to be the more prevalent in both individuals with (41.06%) and without (21.55%) comorbidities. The prevalence of unilateral and bilateral STB was only studied in healthy individuals, with unilateral bridging being the more prevalent (6.26% vs 3.84%).
conclusionThe global overall prevalence of Sella turcica bridging in the general population was found to be higher than previously thought. Anatomical and embryological textbooks should consider including information on STB in their texts, due to its considerable prevalence and effects to the regional anatomy.
