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

Skull base surgery is a highly specialized interdisciplinary field, the importance of which has grown significantly in recent decades. It requires a high level of technical equipment, specialized personnel, and interdisciplinary cooperation, and, due to its complexity, it can often only be performed adequately at university hospitals or high-volume centers. The ability to perform skull base surgery requires many years of complex surgical training. Certified interdisciplinary skull base centers are being developed nationally and internationally to provide patients with the highest level of care. The aim of this review is to give an overview of the current situation based on the most common clinical challenges in order to discuss the common typical "unmet clinical needs" and the future perspectives of skull base surgery.
