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
Epidermoid cysts of the pineal region are a rare entity. Herein, the authors describe the endoscopic resection of a recurrent pineal region epidermoid by way of a supracerebellar infratentorial approach. The patient was positioned in the semiseated upright position with head tilted to the right and slightly flexed, maximizing gravity-based cerebellar retraction, and a paramedian craniotomy was performed owing to the gradual flattening of the tentorium from medial to lateral. This setup, in tandem with the enlarged viewing window achieved by use of 0°, 30°, and 70° endoscopes, afforded the necessary access to achieve a satisfactory resection through this anatomical corridor.
