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 lateral transorbital approach (LTOA) is useful for lesions situated in the middle fossa, adjacent to the lateral wall of the cavernous sinus, as it minimizes brain retraction and provides an extradural corridor. In this video, the authors present the case of a 35-year-old male, complaining of headache and diplopia. MRI revealed a dural-based middle fossa lesion adjacent to the lateral wall of the cavernous sinus. An endoscopic LTOA was performed through a superior eyelid incision. Postoperative MRI showed minimal residual enhancement, and histopathological analysis reported a grade III anaplastic meningioma. The patient was discharged after 48 hours without a new neurological deficit. The video can be found here: https://stream.cadmore.media/r10.3171/2025.1.FOCVID24176.
