1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

Hemangioblastomas (HBs) are rare, benign tumors often related to von Hippel-Lindau disease. They represent the most frequent primary cerebellar tumors in adults. Neurosurgical procedures aim to obtain a gross-total resection of tumor nodules, avoiding intra-postoperative hemorrhage. The introduction of new intraoperative imaging techniques has considerably changed surgical strategies in neuro-oncology. We present an overview of clinical and radiological data of a mono-institutional retrospective cohort, focusing on the role of intraoperative multimodal imaging in surgical strategy. From 2015 to 2021, we identified 64 (81%) cranial (42 cerebellar, 8 supratentorial, and 14 of the brainstem) HBs and 15 (19%) spinal (4 cervical and 11 dorsal) HBs in 79 patients. Intraoperatively, indocyanine green videoangiography with FLOW800 was used in 62 cases (52 cranial and 10 spinal), intraoperative ultrasound and contrast-enhanced ultrasounds in 22 cases (18 cranial and 4 spinal HBs), and fluorescein in 10 cases (in 6 cranial and 2 spinal cases used as SF-VA). Gross total resection was achieved in 100% of the cases (53 mural nodule removal and 26 complete resections of the solid tumor). No side effects were reported following the combination of these tools. Multimodal intraoperative techniques provide valuable and reliable information to identify the tumor and its vasculature, guiding a more precise and safer resection and reducing the risk of recurrence.
