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

A 73-year-old man who previously underwent transsphenoidal surgery for a Rathke's cleft cyst presented with headache and fever. Ophthalmological examination revealed the progression of visual impairment. Cerebral magnetic resonance imaging revealed a cystic mass in the sellar and suprasellar regions with rim-like enhancement. An intralesional hyperintense area with temporal enlargement was identified using serial diffusion-weighted imaging. Lumbar cerebrospinal fluid tap findings indicated bacterial meningitis. The patient had undergone a transsphenoidal surgery; an intraoperatively implanted sheet of artificial dura mater from the previous surgery was identified adjacent to the sellar floor. After incising the floor, the pus material was drained and methicillin-sensitive
