Extended endoscopic supracerebellar infratentorial (EESI) approach for a complex pineal region tumour-a technical note.
Article in Child's nervous system : ChNS : official journal of the International Society for Pediatric Neurosurgery, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Endoscopic-assisted approaches have been shown to be a suitable alternative to the standard microscopic approach to pineal region tumours. With extension laterally into the ventricles, the 0° endoscope and microscope have significant limitations. We describe the extended endoscopic supracerebellar infratentorial (EESI) approach using angled endoscopes for a complex pineal region tumour that extended into the lateral ventricle. A 15-year-old boy presented with headaches and ataxia. MRI revealed a pineal region tumour extending into the lateral ventricle. The patient was positioned in the sitting position. The supracerebellar infratentorial corridor was accessed through a small craniotomy. The tumour was resected completely via the endoscope. Postoperatively, the patient's symptoms resolved completely. We believe that this case highlights the benefit of using the endoscopic extended supracerebellar infratentorial (EESI) approach to resect pineal region lesions that extend beyond the midline.
