1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

backgroundThis study provides an anatomical description of a novel supracerebellar infratentorial inverted subchoroidal (SIIS) approach to the lateral ventricle. An illustrative case is presented in which this approach was used to simultaneously resect two tumors residing in the posterior fossa and lateral ventricle.

methodsThe SIIS approach was performed on five cadaveric heads using microsurgical and endoscopic techniques. Target points were defined in the lateral ventricle, and quantitative analysis was performed to assess limits of exposure within the lateral ventricle. Two coronal reference planes corresponding to the anterior and posterior margins of the lateral ventricle body were defined. Distances from target points to reference planes were measured, and an imaging-based predicting system was provided according to obtained measurements to guide preoperative approach selection.

resultsMean (standard deviation) distances between the predefined target points indicating the anterior limits and the anterior plane were 9 (7.0) mm, 11 (5.8) mm, and 7 (5.1) mm; posterior limits had distances of 8 (3.0) mm, 17 (9.2) mm, 15 (9.2) mm, and 9 (7.2) mm to the posterior plane. Limiting factors of the choroidal fissure dissection were the venous angle anteriorly and thalamocaudate vein posteriorly. The position of the venous angle had a high negative correlation with the anterior exposure limit (

conclusionA step-by-step anatomical description of a new SIIS approach is given, and a quantitative description of the limits of the exposure is provided to evaluate the application of this approach.
