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

A 56-year-old man presented to the emergency room with a sudden onset of drowsiness that began 2 hours before his arrival. Brain computed tomography revealed massive pneumocephalus. The patient was diagnosed with cerebrospinal fluid leakage accompanied by septal perforation. A planned skull base repair was performed using multilayer reconstruction via a trans-septal approach. Following surgery, the patient's mental state recovered, and the skull base defect was successfully reconstructed. The patient disclosed that he had undergone faith healing sessions at a religious facility, where a metal rod-like instrument was repeatedly inserted into his nose.
