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

backgroundThe pedicled nasoseptal flap (Hadad-Bassagasteguy flap, HBF) has been considered as the workhorse for reconstruction of high-flow cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leak following endoscopic endonasal skull base surgery. However, if the septal mucosa is affected by a tumor or the vascular pedicle is injured due to prior surgery, the use of HBF is precluded.

methodWe illustrate the harvest techniques of the lateral nasal wall flap (LNWF) based on the posterior lateral nasal artery (PLNA).

conclusionThe LNWF is a robust intranasal regional flap with a consistent blood supply and comparable coverage surface, making it a reliable alternative when the HBF is unavailable.
