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

Objective: To evaluate complication rates of early adjuvant therapy initiation in pediatric patients with endoscopic endonasal resection for skull base tumors. Design: Retrospective case series of pediatric patients (0-18 years old) with skull base tumors who underwent endoscopic endonasal resection between 2013 and 2023. The median follow-up was 4.21 years. Setting: Single, urban academic pediatric center. Participants: Patients who received radiation within 3 months and/or chemotherapy within 2 weeks of endoscopic endonasal resection. Main Outcome Measures: Primary outcomes were perioperative and adjuvant therapy-related complications including reconstruction failure. Secondary outcomes were recurrence and overall survival. Results: This study included 16 patients (radiation [ Conclusions: A majority of our patient cohort experienced intraoperative CSF leaks resulting in a high rate of complex endonasal reconstructions. Adjuvant treatment postoperatively did not incur significant complications, despite initiation of radiation as early as postoperative day 1 or chemotherapy as early as postoperative day 0, demonstrating preliminary support of the safety of early adjuvant therapy initiation following endoscopic endonasal procedures in the pediatric skull base tumor population.
