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

backgroundTuberculum sellae (TS) meningioma is one of the most frequent meningiomas of the anterior skull base. Herein we perform a review of the literature concerning the preferred surgical approaches to TS meningiomas; in addition, we describe two explicative cases, operated on by our group using different approaches, with the aim to critically revise surgical indications and contraindications.

methodsIn October 2021, two female patients with tuberculum sellae meningioma were treated at the Policlinico Gemelli of Rome. The patients presented with visual deterioration. Surgery was performed using the fronto-temporal approach and transsphenoidal approach. The visual function before and after surgery was evaluated as the main outcome parameter of the surgical treatment of these tumors.

conclusionsTuberculum sellae meningioma can be safely resected using the transcranial approach and the transsphenoidal endoscopic approach with preservation and even improvement of visual function after surgery. The relationship of the tumor with the optic nerves, optic canal, and anterior cerebral artery complex are important issues that have to be considered when dealing with tuberculum sellae meningioma. Both transcranial and endonasal approaches, in experienced hands, can allow complete resection of the lesion.
