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

backgroundWe describe techniques for safe resection of a Type 3 foramen magnum meningioma with dorsal displacement of the accessory nerve rootlets and vertebral artery which limits ventral access to the tumor.

methodPartial sectioning of the accessory nerve rootlets may help create larger working space. Topical lidocaine placement on the rootlets of the spinal accessory nerve may mitigate trapezius muscle contraction and facilitates further progress throughout tumor resection.

conclusionCreating safe working corridors between the lower cranial nerves through mobilization or partial sectioning of rootlets in the case of CN XI facilitates tumor resection through a far lateral approach.
