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

The endoscopic endonasal approach has emerged as an effective and minimally invasive technique for the management of tuberculum sellae meningiomas. A 53-year-old woman with progressive visual deterioration due to a tuberculum sellae meningioma extending into the optic canal underwent endoscopic endonasal resection with optic canal decompression. Gross-total removal was achieved using a "French-door" dural opening and angled dissection, resulting in Simpson grade II resection with the preservation of neurovascular structures. Optic canal opening enabled safe tumor removal and significant visual improvement. Reconstruction employed sutured fascia lata grafts and a sphenoid sinus mucosal flap resulted in no postoperative cerebrospinal fluid leakage.
