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

Encephaloceles are uncommon lesions, most of which are congenital, and may be overlooked in routine radiologic practice. Failure to identify a skull base defect and characterize the herniated contents may delay recognition of associated abnormalities and clinically important complications, including cerebrospinal fluid leakage, intracranial infection, intracranial hypotension, hydrocephalus, and seizures. Granulomatosis with polyangiitis can cause destructive sinonasal disease with extension to the skull base; however, a meningoencephalocele in this setting is exceptionally rare. We report a 58-year-old woman with longstanding granulomatosis with polyangiitis who presented with new-onset seizures. Computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging demonstrated a right transethmoidal meningoencephalocele through an ethmoidal roof defect contiguous with extensive destructive sinonasal changes, with encephalomalacia and gliosis of the herniated brain parenchyma.
