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

The persistent craniopharyngeal canal is a rare, well-corticated midline congenital bony defect through the sphenoid bone between the sellar floor and the nasopharyngeal roof. The prevalence of persistent craniopharyngeal canal is reported to be 0.42%. A 42-year-old male was evaluated for nasal discharge and progressive vision loss; and underwent computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging, which revealed a large craniopharyngeal canal with ectopic pituitary, lipoma, encephalocele, deformed globe with sclerochoroidal calcification and vertebrobasilar dolichoectasia. The presence of orbital and optic tract malformation, craniofacial anomalies, and tumors can be associated with the craniopharyngeal canal.
