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

backgroundSubependymomas are World Health Organization grade I tumors, and 30% occur in the lateral ventricles. Surgery is the mainstay of treatment, and the transcallosal or transcortical/transsulcal approaches are preferred for those tumors occurring near the foramen of Monro or atrium. Visualization, proximity to the fornix and basal ganglia, hydrocephalus, and brain retraction during surgery make these operations challenging. The authors present the case of a 65-year-old male with a subependymoma located in the left lateral ventricle. The tumor was completely resected using an interhemispheric/transcallosal approach. OBSERVATIONS: The authors analyze the anatomopathological features of subependymoma, along with the clinical behavior and therapeutic options. The authors discuss in detail the advantages and disadvantages of the interhemispheric/transcallosal approach for resection of these tumors. LESSONS: Subependymomas are slow-growing lesions with an indolent yet complicated course making surgical removal challenging yet feasible using the correct techniques. The interhemispheric transcallosal approach offers an excellent route for the resection of large subependymomas, but there is still a significant risk for postoperative complications.
