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: The surgical treatment of third ventricular craniopharyngiomas (CPs) is challenging due to their deep location and proximity to critical neurovascular structures. This report presents the use of the extended endoscopic endonasal approach for the resection of a third ventricular CP. Case Description: A 48-year-old male patient was admitted to the hospital with visual disturbances and weight gain (body mass index 42.6 kg/m Conclusion: The extended endoscopic endonasal approach is a safe and effective technique for the resection of suprasellar and third ventricular CPs, offering direct access while avoiding brain retraction. Dural suturing plays a key role in skull base reconstruction, reducing the risk of postoperative CSF leakage.
