How I do it: epidural transposition of the temporoparietal fascia flap for anterior skull base reconstruction.
Article in Acta neurochirurgica, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
backgroundMultilayer closures and the use of vascularized flaps have been showed to be very effective in the reconstruction of the anterior skull base (ASB) after extended endonasal approaches resulting in large bone and dural defects. In the case of unavailability of a local flap, regional ones like the temporoparietal fascia flap (TPFF), used until now via a transpterygoïd route (Bolzoni Villaret et al. in Eur Arch Otorhinolaryngol 270(4):1473-1479, 2023; Fortes et al. in Laryngoscope 117(6):970-976, 2017; Veyrat et al. in Acta Neurochir (Wien) 158(12):2291-2294, 2016), can be an effective alternative.
methodWe describe a step-by-step technique of TPFF transposition via an epidural supraorbital corridor for the reconstruction of a large midline ASB defect.
conclusionTPFF is a promising alternative for the reconstruction of the ASB defects.
