Comprehensive microsurgical anatomy of the middle cranial fossa: Part I-Osseous and meningeal anatomy.
Review in Frontiers in surgery, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 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
The middle cranial fossa is one of the most complex regions in neurosurgery and otolaryngology-in fact, the practice of skull base surgery originated from the need to treat pathologies in this region. Additionally, great neurosurgeons of our present and past are remembered for their unique methods of treating diseases in the middle fossa. The following article reviews the surgical anatomy of the middle fossa. The review is divided into the anatomy of the bones, dura, vasculature, and nerves-in two parts. Emphasis is paid to their neurosurgical significance and applications in skull base surgery. Part I focuses on the bony and dural anatomy.
