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

Background: The endoscopic endonasal approach (EEA) is increasingly used in minimally invasive surgeries for skull base lesions such as pituitary tumors. Although experienced facilities and neurosurgeons familiar with this technique can typically perform these surgeries routinely without special techniques or instruments, challenging cases can occasionally arise due to patient factors such as obesity. Here, we describe challenges encountered during neurosurgery in a patient with super-super obesity and introduce our unique technical nuances for management during tumor resection. Case Description: We report about a 47-year-old man with a body mass index of 62.24 kg/m Conclusion: This case highlights the successful use of the EEA along with unique technical adaptations in a super-super obese patient with craniopharyngioma, demonstrating the importance of innovation and problem-solving in overcoming surgical challenges.
