Exoscope-assisted resection of a recurrent left frontal pilocytic astrocytoma.
Article in Neurosurgical focus: Video, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
An exoscope strengthens the armamentarium of a neurosurgeon by improving visualization and surgeon ergonomics, reducing surgeon discomfort, and improving coordination among the surgical team. A 23-year-old male patient developed focal seizures and weakness affecting his right arm that was attributable to a recurrent left frontal lesion. Despite two craniotomies at an 8-year interval, chemotherapy, and radiation, the tumor continued to progress. In this video, the authors demonstrate resection of a recurrent left frontal pilocytic astrocytoma with the assistance of an exoscope, neuronavigation, and neuromonitoring. The exoscope can enhance surgical resectability while smoothening the surgical workflow. The video can be found here: https://stream.cadmore.media/r10.3171/2023.10.FOCVID23158.
