The Endonasal Endoscopic Transsphenoidal Approach to Paediatric Optic Chiasma Glioma: A Case Report and Literature Review.
Article in Cureus, 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
Optic pathway gliomas (OPGs) are rare pediatric tumors that pose significant challenges in management due to their location and clinical manifestations. Traditional transcranial approaches have been the mainstay for surgical intervention, but recent advancements in endoscopic endonasal transsphenoidal surgery offer a less invasive alternative. Here, we present a case of a 10-year-old female child with neurofibromatosis type-1 and an aggressive OPG who underwent endoscopic endonasal transsphenoidal debulking surgery. The pre-operative evaluation confirmed complete vision loss, and imaging revealed tumor progression. The surgery was successful, resulting in a subtotal resection and a diagnosis of pilocytic astrocytoma, WHO grade 1. Post-operative assessments showed no complications. This case highlights the feasibility of the endoscopic endonasal transsphenoidal approach for OPGs and emphasizes the importance of careful patient selection and multidisciplinary collaboration in achieving successful outcomes for these challenging tumors.
