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

Awake craniotomy (AC) is a neurosurgical technique that enables the precise localization of functional neural networks through intraoperative brain mapping and real-time monitoring. This operative method has been popularized in recent years due to decreased postoperative morbidities. We present a case of 31-year-old female who was presented with episodes of generalized tonic colonic seizures. She had a history of recurring seizures. Upon further investigations, she was diagnosed with brain space-occupying lesions initially suspected as low-grade glioma. Considering the lesion site, the patient was deemed a suitable candidate for an AC. To achieve conscious sedation, the patient received infusions of remifentanil and propofol at varying rates. During the procedure, the patient was under sedation and was regularly tested for response to predetermined commands. The tumor was successfully excised by using a combination of local anesthesia on the scalp and by the administration of propofol and boluses through a systemic infusion.
