Wrapping method for better fat handling in endoscopic trans-sphenoidal surgery.

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
Background: Fat is commonly used for preventing cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leakage during endoscopic transsphenoidal surgery (ETSS). However, fat is soft, slippery, and sometimes not easy to handle. The present study aimed to examine the efficacy of our Surgicel Methods: We used fat tissues removed from the abdomen. The fat was cut with scissors into pieces that were approximately 5 mm in size. Surgicel Results: Between January 2023 and August 2024, 34 patients aged 18-86 years (average 54.9 years) underwent ETSS. Among these patients, 20 had pituitary tumors, 6 had Rathke's cysts, and 8 had other conditions. None of the patients had CSF leakage postoperatively. The use of Surgicel Conclusion: The Surgicel
