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

introduction and importanceSpontaneous cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leak in the lateral recess of the sphenoid (LRS) sinus in a pediatric population is rare and is surgically challenging to repair. CASE PRESENTATION: We report a case of a 13-year-old girl with hydrocephalus and a ventriculoperitoneal shunt who presented with a two-month history of clear rhinorrhea from the right nostril. Computed tomography (CT) of the head was performed and showed CSF leak through a defect in the lateral recess of the sphenoid sinus. Defect closure was achieved using an endoscopic endonasal approach. CLINICAL DISCUSSION: CSF leak with meningoencephalocele from the sphenoid sinus is amongst the most difficult cases for repair. Yet the successful rate of repair is as high as 90 % if done endoscopically. Moreover, the location of the defect determines the surgical approach.

conclusionSpontaneous CSF rhinorrhea from the lateral recess of the sphenoid (LRS) sinus, although rare, requires prompt diagnosis and treatment, as it may lead to significant mortality and morbidity.
