Cerebral Anatomy Detection and Surgical Planning in Patients with Anterior Skull Base Meningiomas Using a Virtual Reality Technique.
Article in Journal of clinical medicine, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 14 papers, 2 of them syntheses that pooled it.
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
Anterior skull base meningiomas represent a wide cohort of tumors with different locations, extensions, configurations, and anatomical relationships. Diagnosis of these tumors and review of their therapies are inseparably connected with cranial imaging. We analyzed the influence of three-dimensional-virtual reality (3D-VR) reconstructions versus conventional computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) images (two-dimensional (2D) and screen 3D) on the identification of anatomical structures and on the surgical planning in patients with anterior skull base meningiomas. Medical files were retrospectively analyzed regarding patient- and disease-related data. Preoperative 2D-CT and 2D-MRI scans were retrospectively reconstructed to 3D-VR images and visualized via VR software to detect the characteristics of tumors. A questionnaire of experienced neurosurgeons evaluated the influence of the VR visualization technique on identification of tumor morphology and relevant anatomy and on surgical strategy. Thirty patients were included and 600 answer sheets were evaluated. The 3D-VR modality significantly influenced the detection of tumor-related anatomical structures (
