Role of Clinical Neuropsychologists in Awake-Craniotomy.
Review in Neurology India. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers, 1 of them a synthesis 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
backgroundAwake craniotomy encompasses surgical resection of focal zone of neurological impairment, using intraoperative functional zone mapping. The strength of the procedure is maximum retention of functionally significant zones to ensure better function and quality of life outcomes in patients. A clinical neuropsychologist plays a vital role in profiling the patient's cognitive and psychosocial functioning as well as increasing the efficacy of functional zone mapping procedures.
objectiveAim of this article is to summarize the literature on the role of clinical neuropsychologists in awake craniotomy and underscoring the need for establishing standardized operating procedures for neuropsychologists in awake craniotomy highlighting experiential anecdotes from a tertiary care facility. MATERIALS AND
methodsA review of articles that elucidate the role of clinical neuropsychologists was done and summarized to highlight the role of clinical neuropsychologists. An attempt was made to explain the implementation of this role in regular clinical practice at a tertiary care facility.
resultsThe role of a clinical neuropsychologist is highly crucial at pre-/during and postawake craniotomy, and has a significant bearing on the overall psychological outcome of the individual. The need for a standardized protocol to unify practice and increase the efficacy of the awake-craniotomy procedure is put forth. Recommendations for future directions in research to increase the scope of neuropsychologists in awake craniotomy have also been made.
