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

Endoscopic resection with transnasal craniectomy (ERTC) and skull-base reconstruction (SBR) are effective techniques for sinonasal/skull-base malignancies treatment. Endoscopic endonasal SBR techniques are mainly based on homologue-free grafts with excellent outcomes, but alternative techniques can be used such as regional vascularized pedicled flaps or local pedicled flap-like Hadad-Bassagasteguy nasoseptal flap and the septal flip flap (SFF). The purpose of this article is to describe an inferiorly based septal flap aimed to promote mucosal healing and improve patients' quality of life. We reported a clinical case of 51-year-old female affected by olfactory neuroblastoma, Hyams-Ⅱ, Kadish-INSICA-B treated with unilateral ERTC and SBR with fascia lata, SFF, and modified reverse septal flap (mRSF). The mRSF harvesting is described in detail, to obtain a lower hinged flap with random vascularization, which can be rotated to cover the exposed bone of the nasal cavity floor. Endoscopic evaluations immediately showed rapid healing with a minimal amount of nasal crusting, despite the adjuvant treatment and the short time since the surgery. This surgical technique is a simple and viable way to boost nasal healing after endoscopic endonasal surgery and for nasal floor resurfacing after septal removal following a unilateral ERTC.
