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

Histological and molecular characterization is essential for the diagnosis of pediatric brain tumors. In the pineal region tumors, it is necessary to remove a sufficient tumor volume to make a diagnosis. However, surgery in this region is challenging due to its deep anatomical location and surrounded by critical structures and complex venous system. Knowledge of the anatomy and function of the pineal region and tumor histological types is imperative for the successful management of pineal region tumors. This article describes surgical approaches to pineal tumors, focusing on the occipital transtentorial approach and adding the author's experience to what has been known in the literature. Recent innovations have made this approach more popular and can be applied to occipital fossa lesions.
