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

This study describes practical needle handling techniques for endonasal endoscopic surgery, focusing on controlled suturing movements adapted to incision orientation and anatomical constraints. Emphasis is placed on single-motion needle advancement, proper reorientation, and precise force application, particularly for skull base suturing where tactile feedback is limited. These techniques enable reliable and efficient closure in endoscopic surgery without the need for specialized instruments.
