Anatomic, qualitative, and quantitative evaluation of the variants of the infratentorial supracerebellar approach to the posteroinferior thalamus.

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
The posteroinferior region of the thalamus is formed by the pulvinar, and it is surgically accessed through the infratentorial supracerebellar approach, between the midline and the retromastoid region. This study aimed to compare the paramedian, lateral, extreme lateral, and contralateral paramedian corridors with the posteroinferior thalamus through a suboccipital craniotomy and an infratentorial supracerebellar access. Ten cadavers were studied, and the microsurgical dissections were accompanied by the measurement of the variables using a neuronavigation system. Statistical analysis was performed using analysis of variance (ANOVA). The distance between the access midpoint at the cranial surface and pulvinar varied between 53.3 and 53.9 mm, the contralateral access being an exception (59.9 mm). The vertical angle ranged from 20.6° in the contralateral access to 23.5° in the lateral access. There was a gradual increase in the horizontal angle between the paramedian (17.4°), lateral (31.3°), and extreme lateral (43.7°) accesses. But, this angle in the contralateral access was 14.6°, similar to that of the paramedian access. The exposed area of the thalamus was 125.1 mm
