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

backgroundSurgery for giant pituitary adenomas (GPAs) poses significant challenges, particularly when the tumor cannot be fully addressed using either the endoscopic endonasal approach (EEA) or the microscopic transcranial approach (MTCA) alone.

methodWe utilized two combined approaches for complex GPAs: 1) expanded endoscopic endonasal approach (EEEA) combined with microscopic pterional approach (MPA), and 2) EEEA combined with endoscopic transventricular approach (ETVA).

conclusionThe combined approach is an effective surgical technique for complex GPAs. The EEEA-MPA approach is suitable for GPAs with superior and lateral extension, while the EEEA-ETVA approach is beneficial for tumors with lateral ventricular invasion.
