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
introductionEndoscopic methods have gained a well-established position in surgical treatment of colloid cysts of third ventricle. However, the possibility of total tumor removal with this method and the long-term effectiveness of treatment are being questioned.
aimPersonal twenty years' experience in treatment of third ventricle colloid cysts is presented on the basis of retrospective analysis. MATERIAL AND
methodsThe study group included 58 patients diagnosed by neuroimaging (head CT/MRI) with third ventricle colloid cyst. Post-hospital follow-up ranged from 18 to 42 months. Long-term follow-up head CT/MRI was performed in 39 patients.
resultsThe colloid cyst was removed totally in 47 (81%) patients. In 11 cases, the colloid cyst's wall was tightly adherent to the roof of the third ventricle, which limited the radicality of the procedure. Sixteen patients demonstrated memory impairments, 4 patients epilepsy and another 2 akinetic mutism in the direct postoperative course. One patient died as a result of complications unrelated to the procedure. The average hospitalization was 5 days. In the late period after surgery, remission of the most, previously, reported ailments and symptoms has been reported. Surgical treatment for hydrocephalus was needed in 7 patients. In 3 cases cyst recurrence was diagnosed which required reoperation.
conclusionsThe endoscopic methods allow the total removal of a third ventricle colloid cyst in most patients. Leaving a small coagulated fragment of the cyst rarely results in its recurrence. This method results in effective treatment with a low complications rate, shortens hospitalization time and brings the patient a high level of satisfaction with a quick recovery.
