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

Objective: The aim of this study is to compare the clinical characteristics and surgical outcomes of patients with traumatic and nontraumatic cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) rhinorrhea. Methods: CSF rhinorrhea patients admitted between January 2007 and December 2022 were recruited and categorized into traumatic and nontraumatic groups. The clinical characteristics and surgical outcomes of the two groups were compared. Results: A total of 94 patients with traumatic and 49 patients with nontraumatic CSF rhinorrhea were included. The prevalence of meningitis was significantly higher in traumatic CSF rhinorrhea patients ( Conclusions: Multifocal defects and meningitis were more prevalent in traumatic CSF rhinorrhea patients, leading to increased complexity in treatment management. Iatrogenic rather than accidental traumatic CSF rhinorrhea is an independent risk factor for development of meningitis. The endoscopic combined coronal extradural approach, in conjunction with various vascularized flaps, can effectively supplement skull base reconstruction, especially for complex traumatic CSF rhinorrhea.
