Resection of supratentorial gliomas: the need to merge microsurgical technical cornerstones with modern functional mapping concepts. An overview.
Review in Neurosurgical review, 2015. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Although surgery is not curative for the majority of intracranial gliomas, radical resection has been demonstrated to influence survival and delay tumor progression. Because gliomas are very frequently located in eloquent or more generally critical areas, surgeons must always balance the maximizing resection with the need to preserve neurological function. In this overview, we tried to summarize the recent literature and our personal experience about (1) the benefits and limits of using preoperative anatomical and functional neuroimaging (anatomical MRI, DTI fiber tracking, and functional MRI), (2) the issues to consider in planning the surgical strategy, (3) the need to thoroughly understand microsurgical techniques that enable a maximal resection (subpial dissection, vascular manipulation, etc.), (4) the importance of individualizing surgical strategy especially in patients with gliomas in eloquent areas (the role of neuropsychological evaluation in redefining eloquent and non-eloquent areas), and (5) how to use intraoperative mapping techniques and understand why and when to use them. Through this paper, the reader should become more familiar with a comprehensive panel of techniques and methodologies but more importantly become aware that these recent technical advances facilitate a conceptual change from classical surgical paradigms toward a more patient-specific approach.
