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

backgroundCurrent technologies that support stereotactic laser ablation (SLA) of geographically distinct lesions require placement of multiple bolts or time-consuming, intertrajectory adjustments. OBSERVATIONS: Two geographically distinct nodular lesions were safely biopsied and laser ablated in a 62-year-old woman with recurrent glioblastoma using the ClearPoint Array frame, a novel magnetic resonance imaging-compatible stereotactic frame designed to support independent parallel trajectories without intertrajectory frame adjustment. LESSONS: Here, the authors provide a proof-of-principle case report demonstrating that geographically distinct lesions can be safely biopsied and ablated through parallel trajectories supported by the ClearPoint Array frame without intertrajectory adjustment.
