Pterional Approach.
Review in Acta bio-medica : Atenei Parmensis, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 papers.
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 pterional approach is a workhorse in neurosurgery, to the point where perfect knowledge of its execution is essential in neurosurgical daily practice. The pterional transsylvian corridor is used to treat aneurysms involving anterior circulation, basilar apex, the proximal segment of the superior cerebellar and posterior cerebral artery, arteriovenous malformations and cavernous hemangiomas of the basal forebrain, anterior and middle skull base tumors, gliomas of the frontal, parietal, and temporal opercula, insula, mediobasal temporal region, cerebral peduncles, interpeduncular fossa, and also orbital lesions. We herein overview the core technique and variations of the pterional approach aimed at broadening surgical freedom and decreasing the risk of approach-related complications.
