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

Background: Quality of life (QoL) is a critical outcome measure in patients undergoing endoscopic endonasal resection of anterior skull base lesions. This study aimed to validate the Arabic version of the Anterior Skull Base Questionnaire 35 for endoscopic endonasal resections (AVQ35). Methods: This study included patients who underwent endoscopic endonasal resection of anterior skull base lesions between January 2022 and December 2022 at King Saud University Medical City in Riyadh. QoL assessments were performed using standardized questionnaires at baseline and during the postoperative follow-up visits. Statistical analyses, including paired Results: All individual components or items within the AVQ-35 questionnaire were valuable and relevant when assessing a patient's QoL. The findings demonstrated a significant improvement in QoL scores following endoscopic endonasal resection of the anterior skull base lesions ( Conclusion: This study successfully validated the AVQ-35 for use in patients undergoing endoscopic endonasal resection of anterior skull base lesions. The AVQ-35 demonstrated excellent internal consistency (Cronbach's alpha > 0.95) and responsiveness to clinical changes, as evidenced by significant improvements in QoL scores postoperatively. These findings establish the AVQ-35 as a robust and culturally appropriate instrument for assessing QoL in Arabic-speaking populations, filling a critical gap in patient-reported outcome measures for anterior skull base surgery.
