Retrosigmoid Approach in the Supine Position Using ORBEYE: A Consecutive Series of 14 Cases.
Article in Neurologia medico-chirurgica, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 25 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
One of the merits of recently introduced exoscopes, including ORBEYE, is that they are superior to a conventional microscope in terms of ergonomic features. Taking advantage of it, the retrosigmoid approach can be performed in the supine position using ORBEYE. We report a consecutive series of 14 operations through the retrosigmoid approach in the supine position using ORBEYE. Fourteen consecutive patients who underwent surgery through the retrosigmoid approach for cerebellopontine (CP) angle lesions in the supine position using ORBEYE were targeted, and surgical outcomes and complications were examined. We evaluated the posture of the operator and the surgical field during this approach compared with those using a conventional microscope. In all 14 cases, all operative procedures were accomplished only using the ORBEYE. There were no operative complications due to this approach. Using ORBEYE, even when the angle of the operative visual axis was horizontal, the operators could manipulate in a comfortable posture. They were not forced to be in an uncomfortable posture that extended their arms, as is often the case with a conventional microscope. Therefore, they could use shorter surgical instruments. As the cerebellum shifted downward with gravity even using slight retraction during this approach, the working space of the surgical field was easily secured. Through this approach, the operators can perform stable microsurgery of CP angle lesions in a comfortable posture. This approach can reduce the burden on the operator and the patient, leading to a refined surgical procedure.
