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

Juvenile nasopharyngeal angiofibroma (JNA) is a benign tumor originating from the pterygopalatine fossa and is the most common lesion of the nasopharynx. Its hypervascularity and complex anatomical extensions make selecting the most effective surgical approach intricate. All patients in this series were males, and their age ranged between 8 and 23 years. Extensions to the carotids, cavernous sinus, and infratemporal fossa were noted. In addition, intraoperative details with particular emphasis on the endoscopic two-surgeon transseptal approach were discussed. Nasal obstruction was the most reported symptom, whereas epistaxis was evident in two cases. Complete or near-complete resection of the tumor was achieved in all cases. Over the follow-up period, one patient underwent successful revision endoscopic excision after tumor regrowth. JNA can be completely excised with endoscopic techniques. For large tumors, creating a wider window by using a two-surgeon trans-septal approach is practical and defers the need for external resection.
