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

Spontaneous cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) rhinorrhea represents an important clinical entity, which is associated with elevated intracranial pressure and is rarely treated successfully without surgical intervention. Here we report a case of spontaneous CSF rhinorrhea. The patient was a 54-year-old male, who presented with bacterial meningitis and was referred to the Department of Otorhinolaryngology for a detailed examination of the nose and sinuses. Reconstructed thin-slice computed tomography (CT) revealed multiple fistulae on the clivus. The defect was successfully repaired by transnasal endoscopic surgery, with the assistance of virtual endoscopic images, which were created by the surgical planning and navigation system from thin-slice CT images. This incremental improvement in the imaging technique helped with the diagnosis and surgical treatment of CSF rhinorrhea.
