[Microsurgical approach to the ambient cistern].
Article in Surgical neurology international, 2016. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
objectiveTo describe a step-by-step approach to the ambient cistern by the suboccipital retrosigmoid supracerebellar infratentorial (RSI) approach. DESCRIPTION: The RSI approach is performed in the same manner as the suboccipital retrosigmoid approach, usually used to access the pathology of the cerebellopontine angle, with the following modifications: (1) we always use the semi-sitting position, (2) the craniotomy-craniectomy must expose the transverse sinus and extend 5 cm medially to the inion, (3) when performing the dural opening it is necessary to mobilize the dura with the transverse sinus upwards, (4) under magnification with surgical microscope the cerebellomedullary cistern should be opened in order to drain cerebrospinal fluid for relaxing the cerebellum, and (5) arachnoidal adherences and bridging veins must be coagulated and cut if necessary. These maneuvers create a wide corridor to the ambient cistern.
conclusionThis approach allows a safe access to the ambient cistern, especially to the infratentorial portion.
