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
purposeInverted papilloma of the sphenoid sinus (IPSS) is a rare tumor with debated surgical management due to its proximity to vital structures. The aim of this manuscript is to highlight the role of a transpterygoid approach (TPA) and pedicle-orientated strategy in case of involvement of critical structures in IPSS and compare it with data from the literature.
methodsPatients with primary IPSS between January 2000 and June 2021 were included. Pre-operative CT/MRI were analyzed to classify the pneumatization of the SS and predict the insertion point of the inverted papilloma. All patients were treated with a trans-sphenoidal approach which was combined with a TPA in case of lateral insertion point. A systematic search was also performed to summarize the available literature.
resultsTwenty-two patients were treated for IPSS. By CT, the SS was categorized with type III pneumatization in 72.8% of cases. Eleven patients (50%) were treated with a TPA with a statistical association with the insertion point on the SS lateral wall (p = 0.01), rather than a SS pneumatization (p = 0.63). The overall success was 95.5% after a mean follow-up of 35.9 months. For the literature, 26 publications were included on 97 patients and described a trans-sphenoidal approach with a success rate of 84.6% after a mean follow-up of 24.5 months.
conclusionIPSS is generally treated with a sphenoidotomy approach, although in selected cases, a TPA should be preferred to expose the whole SS lateral wall though allowing a complete pedicled oriented resection of the tumor.
