Endoscopic endonasal approach to remove pediatric intraventricular tumors of the third ventricle.
Review in Child's nervous system : ChNS : official journal of the International Society for Pediatric Neurosurgery, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
purposePediatric intraventricular tumors of the third ventricle are among the most difficult-to-treat brain tumors. Recently, endonasal endoscopic surgery for suprasellar, third ventricle, and median clivus lesions has become the common procedure, and its indications are expanding to pediatric cases. We describe our strategy for endonasal endoscopic surgery for pediatric third ventricle tumors.
methodWe report on surgical anatomies and our surgical procedures in detail, including case presentations.
resultEndoscopic endonasal surgery has the advantage of providing a wider view of the tumor site, hypothalamus, optic chiasm, and other critical structures. Good indications for the endoscopic endonasal approach for intra-third ventricular tumors are those arising from the floor of the third ventricle. In particular, craniopharyngioma, a typical pediatric suprasellar tumor, sometimes extends into the third ventricle, causing great operative difficulty. However, aggressive removal for long-term control while preserving memory and visual function is important. We perform surgery with a strategy of radically removing tumors without causing damage to visual or brain function, and we adopt the "4-hands technique by two neurosurgeons" in full endoscopic surgery to remove tumors safely and aggressively.
conclusionWe describe our strategy for endonasal endoscopic surgery for pediatric third ventricle tumors, especially those extending from the suprasellar region into the third ventricle, and present a representative case.
