A Case Series of Surgical Resection of Anterior and Posterior Butterfly Glioma Grade 4 via a Minimally Invasive Keyhole Approach.

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
Surgical resection of infiltrating glial neoplasms has proven to improve quality of life and confer a significant survival benefit. As accumulating evidence cements the role of surgery in grade 4 gliomas, there is a general trend to transition away from traditional large craniotomies to smaller 'keyhole' approaches, which aim to reduce the trauma and complication profiles associated with large exposures. A keyhole approach uses a small craniotomy positioned perfectly to reach at least all the target structures that a conventional approach would reach. We present a case series of operated butterfly gliomas grade 4 patients through keyhole approaches. All three operated patients have better survival than the literature biopsy groups. The resection of butterfly gliomas should be considered in selected cases. For some patients, it is feasible with the technology used nowadays, with improved quality of life and better survival prognosis.
