Fourth Ventricle Tumors: A Review of Series Treated With Microsurgical Technique.
Review in Frontiers in surgery, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
Tumors of the IV ventricle represent 1-5% of all intracranial lesions; they are implicated in 2/3 of the tumors of the ventricular system. According to modern standards, the first treatment stage for this pathology is microsurgical removal. Currently, for the removal of neoplasms of the IV ventricle and brainstem, the median suboccipital approach is widely used, followed by one of the microapproaches. Moreover, with the development of microsurgical techniques, keyhole approaches are now beginning to be utilized. However, surgical treatment of these tumors remains a challenge for neurosurgeons due to the proximity of functionally important anatomical structures (the brainstem, the cerebellum, pathways, vessels, etc.) of the posterior cranial fossa. Therefore, surgery in this area is associated with the possible occurrence of a wide range of postoperative complications. The authors provide a review of series of fourth ventricle tumors treated with microsurgical technique.
