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

backgroundThe endoscopic transorbital approach provides a direct access to the medial temporal lobe (MTL). However, when excising a highly vascular tumour, a wider access route that enables the concurrent use of standard neurosurgical instruments with both hands is preferable.

methodWe described the concept and technique of the lateral orbital wall approach (LOWA), which comprises orbitotomy and mini-craniotomy to treat MTL lesions using an exoscope and endoscope.

conclusionThe LOWA provides a safe and natural surgical corridor to the MTL and enables 2- or 3-hand surgery. Hence, LOWA can potentially improve safety and efficiency to treat MTL lesions.
