Endoscopic and Endoscopically-Assisted Resection of Intraventricular Lesions Using a Neuroendoscopic Ultrasonic Aspirator.
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 7 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
The development of minimally invasive neuroendoscopy has advanced in recent years. The introduction of the neuroendoscopic ultrasonic aspirator (NUA) broadened the treatment spectrum of neuroendoscopy. We aim to describe our experience with the use of NUA for the resection of intraventricular lesions. Here, we present consecutive retrospective case series of adult and pediatric patients undergoing resection of an intraventricular lesion with a NUA (Endoscopic Neurosurgical Pen, Söring GmbH, Quickborn, Germany) between January 2019 and April 2020. Eight patients between the age of 0.5 and 73 years underwent surgery using NUA and were included in this study. In four patients, an endoscopic assisted (EA) resection of the lesion was undertaken, while in four patients, the lesion was removed using purely endoscopic (PE) resection. In all cases, gross/near total resection was achieved. The average blood loss was 142.5 ± 90.4 mL (range 50-300 mL). Transient morbidity was seen in four patients (50%), while permanent morbidity or mortality did not occur. The NUA seems to be a safe and valuable tool for the minimally invasive resection of intraventricular lesions in selected cases. The type, size, consistency, and vascularization of the lesion limit at times the purely endoscopic use of the NUA.
