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

purposethe aim of this multicenter study is to preliminarily assess the role of the Endoscopic Endonasal Approach (EEA) in ultra-early (i.e., within 12 h) management of selected neurosurgical emergencies in terms of clinical and radiological outcomes.

methods26 patients affected by sellar/parasellar pathologies with rapid progression of symptoms were managed with EEA within 12 h from diagnosis in three Italian tertiary referral Centers from January 2016 to December 2019. Both clinical and radiological data have been collected preoperatively as well as post-operatively in order to perform retrospective analysis.

resultsThe average time from admission to the operating room was 5.5 h (±2.3). The extent of resection was gross-total in 20 (76.9%), subtotal in 6 (23.1%) patients. One patient experienced re-bleeding after a subtotal removal of a hemorrhagic lesion. Patients with a longer time from admission (>4 h) to the operatory room (OR) experienced stable impairment of the visual acuity (

conclusionsThe Endoscopic Endonasal Approach represents a safe, effective technique that can be efficiently used with good results in the management of selected neurosurgical emergencies in centers with adequate experience.
