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

Deciding whether to reconstruct the orbit after combined transcranial and orbital surgery is uniquely challenging. Although frequently debated, upfront reconstruction is critical for lesions that have not caused bony remodeling, orbital wall hyperostosis, or periorbital tissue stiffening. A 50-year-old man developed pulsatile enophthalmos two years after planum sphenoidale meningioma resection. We detail the staged orbital reconstruction technique and discuss indications. Lesions not involving the orbital tissues themselves but compressing the orbit require orbital reconstruction to prevent delayed pulsatile enophthalmos. Additionally, even when upfront reconstruction is deferred, a delayed, staged approach can treat specific postoperative complications.
