Treatment of colloid cyst of the third ventricle by stereotactic aspiration followed by radiosurgery: Report of four cases.
Article in Surgical neurology international, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
backgroundColloid cysts are rare benign lesions with potentially devastating results. Complications intra and posttreatment can result in high rates of recurrence. Stereotactic radiosurgery may present an attractive option for decreasing the rate of recurrence in conjunction with stereotactic aspiration. CASE DESCRIPTION: Here, we report four cases of colloid cyst of the third ventricle managed by stereotactic aspiration with the use of the Leksell frame followed by stereotactic radiosurgery with the BrainLab/Novalis linear accelerator. Follow-up ranged from 7 to 10 years. There were no complications related to the treatment and no recurrence of the cysts, to date. All four patients remain asymptomatic.
conclusionsThe combination of stereotactic aspiration and radiosurgery may have a role in the management of colloid cysts of the third ventricle.
