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

Although iatrogenic skull base injuries after endoscopic sinus surgery (ESS) are rare (overall complication rate, 0.5%), they can be fatal or cause significant morbidity. Conventionally, skull base injuries were repaired using an external approach. However, in recent years, most skull base injuries after ESS have been repaired using an endoscopic transnasal approach due to its lower morbidity, lower risk of postoperative complications, and shorter hospital stay. We report two cases of iatrogenic skull base injury accompanied by brain injury following ESS and describe the skull base repair techniques employed for each case. In both cases, the skull base defects were successfully repaired using an endoscopic transnasal approach, although craniotomy was also performed in the first case to remove bone fragments from the right frontal base and lateral ventricle. Both patients recovered without residual neurologic deficits.
