OsiriX software as a preoperative planning tool in cranial neurosurgery: A step-by-step guide for neurosurgical residents.
Review in Surgical neurology international, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 18 papers.
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
backgroundOsiriX (Pixmeo, Switzerland) is an open-source Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine (DICOM) viewer that is gaining more and more attention in the neurosurgical community because of its user-friendly interface, powerful three-dimensional (3D) volumetric rendering capabilities, and various options for data integration. This paper presents in detail the use of OsiriX software as a preoperative planning tool in cranial neurosurgery.
methodsIn January 2013, OsiriX software was introduced into our clinical practice as a preoperative planning tool. Its capabilities are being evaluated on an ongoing basis in routine elective cranial cases.
resultsThe program has proven to be highly effective at volumetrically representing data from radiological examinations in 3D. Among its benefits in preoperative planning are simulating the position and exact location of the lesion in 3D, tailoring the skin incision and craniotomy bone flap, enhancing the representation of normal and pathological anatomy, and aiding in planning the reconstruction of the affected area.
conclusionOsiriX is a useful tool for preoperative planning and visualization in neurosurgery. The software greatly facilitates the surgeon's understanding of the relationship between normal and pathological anatomy and can be used as a teaching tool.
