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: Social determinants of health (SDOH) have been extensively studied in multiple fields, but studies in endoscopic anterior skull base surgery are limited. Our systematic review examines studies analyzing SDOH and their association with endoscopic anterior skull base surgery outcomes. Methods: This December 2023 systematic review surveyed literature via Embase, Web of Science, MEDLINE, and CENTRAL using predefined syntax analyzing SDOH in endoscopic anterior skull base surgery outcomes. Two independent authors screened the titles, abstracts, and full text for eligibility of inclusion, with a third author resolving any conflicts that arose. Results: Among 18 studies from 2015 to 2023, the most common SDOH included were insurance status (67%, Conclusions: Several studies indicate that race and insurance status significantly influence rates for readmission and postoperative complications in endoscopic anterior skull base surgery. The heterogeneity of other SDOH suggests further research to consolidate the findings and explore potential links explaining the observed variations. Level of Evidence: 3.
