Adult transsphenoidal meningoencephalocele: Clinical image.
Article in Surgical neurology international, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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: Encephalocele is herniation of cranial contents through a skull defect, classified according to their contents and location, and is usually seen in pediatric age group. The transsphenoidal type represents <5% of all basal meningoencephaloceles. Of them, the presentation in adulthood is even rarer. Case Description: A 19-year-old female complaining of breathing difficulties during sleep and exertional dyspnea was diagnosed with a transsphenoidal meningoencephalocele, likely representing patent craniopharyngeal canal. On exploration through bifrontal craniotomy, the defect was identified in the sellar floor after completely reducing the contents into the cranial cavity and was repaired. She had immediate symptomatic relief and an uneventful postoperative course. Conclusion: There can be significant symptomatic relief with minimal postoperative morbidity after transcranial repair of such large transsphenoidal meningoencephaloceles, through traditional skull base approaches.
