Spontaneous Cerebrospinal Fluid Leakage at the Clivus: Minimally Invasive Surgery Without External Autograft Harvesting.

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
Spontaneous cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leakage at the clivus is rare. In previous reports, reconstructive materials used to treat such leakage were typically autografts. Considering the pathology, rigid reconstruction is preferred. We here describe a case of spontaneous CSF leakage at the clivus with multiple bony defects. In this case, in addition to using artificial material instead of autografts, such as fat or fascia, that require additional extranasal invasive harvesting site, a rigid material layer of septal cartilage and bone was also used, enabling more stable multilayer reconstruction. One month postoperatively, computed tomography revealed that the bony defect at the clivus had been well reconstructed. All nasal structures were preserved, and the nasoseptal flap was well engrafted. At eight months post-surgery, the patient remained in good condition. This method allows minimally invasive repair of the leaking clivus, according to the underlying pathophysiology.
