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.
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
objectiveThis study investigated epidemiologic characteristics and analyzed postoperative complications on craniopharyngioma (CP) patients in China with an aim to provide a theoretical basis for the postoperative care of CP patients.
methodsA total of 598 CP patients was divided into two groups based on the age and postoperative complications including visual impairment and endocrine dysregulation. The WISC IV scoring system was used to measure the cognitive functions of the pediatric patients. In addition, patients with two major CP types, the papillary and adamantinomatous CPs, were also compared with regard to postoperative complications.
resultsThe Children group had a higher probability of developing severe visual impairment. Moreover, the Children group had a significantly higher occurrence rate of uremia and arginine vasopressin deficiency, thyroid disorder, dysregulated cortisol and growth hormones than the adult group. On the other hand, the mean time to the first recurrence was shorter in patients with the papillary CP than in those with the adamantinomatous CP. After secondary and more surgeries, 22.27% of patients developed amnesia. Patients with the adamantinomatous CP developed amnesia at a higher rate than patients with the papillary CP. Hypopituitarism did not correlate with patient age, gender, and disease duration, but correlated with the follow-up time. Statistically significant differences between the intracranial infection and the duration of surgery, and between intracranial hematoma and hydrocephalus, were observed.
conclusionsReduced operative time and enhanced postoperative follow-up can reduce the occurrence of postoperative complications in CP patients.
