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

backgroundExtradural anterior clinoidectomy (EAC) and dural peeling of the lateral wall of the cavernous sinus (CS) are challenging skull base techniques that enhance exposure to anterior and middle cranial fossa lesions. Intimate knowledge of dural anatomy enables safe dissection and identification of critical neurovascular structures without cranial nerve deficit postoperatively.

methodsIn a patient with a middle/inner ridge sphenoid wing meningioma, EAC and targeted dural peeling allowed for a Simpson grade I resection.

conclusionEAC and targeted dural peeling enable a feasible Simpson grade I resection of a middle/inner ridge sphenoid wing meningioma, while minimizing neurovascular injury.
