1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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: Tension pneumocephalus is a neurosurgical emergency caused by progressive accumulation of air in the intracranial spaces mediated by a valve mechanism. Tension pneumocephalus usually presents with headaches, reduced consciousness, and even death. One of the most common causes is an ethmoidal defect resulted by nasal surgery or facial traumas. Methods: A literature review about tension pneumocephalus resulting from ethmoidal damages was performed. Surgery strategies included decompression by frontal burr holes and multilayer repair of the ethmoidal defect. In this paper, an endoscopic technique that exploits the ethmoidal defect to decompress the intracranial spaces and to resolve tension pneumocephalus with fewer complications and shorter hospitalization in comparison to frontal craniotomy is proposed. Conclusion: The proposed endonasal endoscopic technique could be effectively used as a first-line treatment for symptomatic tension pneumocephalus caused by posttraumatic or iatrogenic ethmoidal defect.
