[Transnasal endoscopic skull base surgery: analysis of complications in the first 120 procedures].
Article in Surgical neurology international, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Background: The endonasal endoscopic approach (EEA) has potential advantages over traditional open approaches. However, complications such as cerebrospinal fluid (CFS) leak, visual disturbances, and postoperative meningitis have been described. The aim was to present the experience accumulated in 120 cases of skull base EEA performed by the same surgical team and describe and analyze the main postoperative complications according to the complexity of the cases. Methods: Retrospective study on our database of patients undergoing skull base EEA for various pathologies between July 2011 and March 2022. Results: 120 skull base EEA surgeries were analyzed. 57.14% were performed on women. The median age was 44 years. 26.66% were reinterventions. The most frequent pathology was pituitary adenoma (49.17%) followed by CSF leak (8.33%). The most used EEA was the transelar 65.83%. 26 complications were recorded, with no differences according to complexity. There were 13 cases of diabetes insipidus (DI) and 8 of CSF leak. This was more frequent in patients with intraoperative CSF leak. The median hospital stay was 5.5 days. Conclusion: Skull base EEA has become increasingly common for the surgical management of skull base pathology, with a low frequency of immediate postoperative complications and low mortality. The improvement of the technique and the improvement in postoperative care are associated with a shorter hospital stay.
