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
The authors aimed to develop an extensive preoperative checklist of CT scan findings during endoscopic access to the ventral skull base and implement it in clinical practice. A comprehensive literature review was conducted to identify the radiological landmarks crucial to endoscopic skull base surgery. Four electronic databases were searched: PubMed, MEDLINE, EMBASE, and Google Scholar using search terms/keywords such as "radiological landmarks," "endoscopic skull base surgery," "CT scan," "pituitary surgery," "anatomical variations," "internal carotid," "optic nerve," "sphenoid sinus," "pneumatization," "dehiscence," and "protrusion". Inclusion criteria were limited to original articles and systematic reviews published in English, between the years 2000 and 2021, which pertained to the radiological landmarks to be identified during endoscopic skull base surgery. Full-text articles were retrieved and collated into a narrative review focused on a 12-item checklist the authors agreed upon. The mnemonic "O ROAD TO SELLA" was used to represent the checklist and include the following landmarks: Sphenoid
