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

backgroundThe far lateral approach has been developed to access lesions at the craniocervical junction and upper cervical spinal canal. Associated morbidity triggered the development of less invasive tailored approaches.

methodIn this lateral approach to the craniocervical junction, the occipital condyle is kept intact, vertebral artery manipulation is minimized, and the sigmoid sinus is not skeletonized. A linear incision through skin and muscles and use of an abdominal wall fat graft minimize the risk of cerebrospinal fluid leakage.

conclusionsThe exposure provided is sufficient for the majority of tumors in this region and allows for low complication rates.
