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
objectiveThe enlarged endonasal approach (EEA) has emerged as the preferred surgical procedure for removing craniopharyngiomas, due to its advantages of direct visualization and reduction of blind corners. However, owing to a low incidence of papillary CPs (PCPs) compared to adamantinomatous CPs (ACPs), a full view of PCP based on the EEA approach is limited. In this paper, the authors present the largest series to date analyzing the clinical characteristics based on the EEA approach for PCPs.
methodsA retrospective review was conducted on 101 PCPs patients who underwent endoscopic endonasal surgery (EEA) and whose condition was confirmed via postoperative pathology. The PCPs were classified into three types based on MRI data and intraoperative findings from EEA: suprasellar/intra-suprasellar (3V floor intact) type (Type I), suprasellar/intra-suprasellar (3V floor invasive) type (Type II), and intra-third ventricle type (Type III). The general characteristics of the three types of tumors were summarized, and postoperative follow-up was conducted to record detailed information on changes in vision, endocrine replacement, tumor recurrence, and quality of life.
resultsOut of the 101 cases, 36 (36.64%) were classified as type I, 52 (51.49%) as type II, and 13 (12.87%) as type III. The mean age of type III patients was 40.46 ± 14.15 years old, younger than the other two types (
conclusionsMost of the PCPs including intra-third ventricle PCPs can be safely and effectively removed through neuroendoscopy with EEA. Suprasellar/intra-suprasellar (third cerebral ventricle floor-invasive) type PCPs may have a worse postoperative quality of life compared to the other two types, and it may be a strong predictor of tumor recurrence.
