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.
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
Objective: To evaluate the feasibility of utilizing a temporoparietal fascia flap (TPFF) via the lateral orbital window for anterior skull base reconstruction (ASBR) in cadavers. Methods: Four cadavers underwent anatomical dissections on eight sides. The dissection procedure involved exposing the anterior skull base (ASB) using endoscopic endonasal techniques, dissecting the orbit, harvesting the temporalis muscle fascial flap (TPFF), and transposing the TPFF to the ASB through the lateral orbital window. The minimum required length (MRL) of the TPFF to reach the ASB and maximum harvestable length (MHL) of the flap were determined. A computed tomography (CT) scan was used to measure the dimensions of the anterior skull base defects (ASBD) in each cadaver. Results: The harvested TPFFs successfully reached the intended ASBDs. The average MRL and MHL were 14.00 ± 1.06 and 16.45 ± 1.16 cm, respectively. The resulting ASBDs exhibited an average anterior-posterior distance, width, and area of 2.45 ± 0.42 cm, 2.46 ± 0.46 cm, and 5.17 ± 1.07 cm Conclusions: The TPFF can be effectively utilized to cover the ASBD by passing through the lateral orbital window. The TPFF serves as a viable option for repairing defects in the posterior wall of the frontal sinus. Level of Evidence: Level 4.
