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

backgroundCraniopharyngiomas that rarely extend into the posterior fossa are treated with staged operations or combined approaches. The authors reported a patient undergoing gross-total resection of a suprasellar with recurrent cerebellopontine angle (CPA) craniopharyngioma using an endoscopic far-lateral supracerebellar infratentorial approach (EFL-SCITA). OBSERVATIONS: The patient was a 15-year-old boy who presented with headache and decreased vision that lasted for half a year. He previously received three surgeries related to CPA craniopharyngioma. Preoperative magnetic resonance imaging revealed a suprasellar with recurrent CPA craniopharyngioma. Gross-total resection of this suprasellar and CPA tumor was achieved through EFL-SCITA. All symptoms and signs were improved. There were no postsurgical complications except for mild facial paralysis. LESSONS: EFL-SCITA can be used not only for tumors in the posterolateral pontomesencephalon and ptero-clival-tentorial area but also for tumors in the suprasellar region with posterior fossa extension.
