Diagnostic Value of Non-Contrast CT in Cerebrospinal Fluid Leakage After Endoscopic Transnasal Surgery for Sellar and Suprasellar Tumors.
Article in Frontiers in oncology, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
We aimed to study the relationship between pneumocephalus on non-contrast CT (NCCT) and post-operative cerebrospinal fluid leakage (p-CFL) after endoscopic transsphenoidal sellar and suprasellar tumor surgeries. Data from patients who underwent endoscopic treatment for sellar or suprasellar tumors from January 2018 to March 2020 were consecutively collected and reviewed. The NCCT pneumocephalus (NP) was measured the first day after operation and the first day after the expansive sponge was extracted. p-CFL was determined according to post-operative clinical symptoms, high resolution CT and glucose test, and expert consensus. Of the 253 patients enrolled in this study, 32 (12.6%) had p-CFL. Compared with patients without p-CFL, patients with p-CFL had a higher occurrence of intra-operative CFL, a longer operation time, a higher rate of pneumocephalus on first-day NCCT after operation (i.e., first-day NP), and a higher rate of NP volume change between two NCCT measurements (referred to as the NP change) (all
