Ambient wing cistern: History, anatomy, imaging and approaches: An overview.
Review in World neurosurgery: X, 2025. 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
Background: The ambient cistern is a noncommunicating paramedian dorsal paired cistern according to the Liliequist classification. While the ambient wing cistern is described for the first time in 1875, Key and Retzius and firstly named in 1950 by Dr. Bengt Liliequist (1923-2008). Due to its complex tridimensional anatomy, it has been a subject of confusion in neuroanatomy. Historically, it has been given multiple anatomical definitions. Our paper focuses on the history, development, radiology, and lesions of the AC along with the AWC and explains the latter as an independently constant anatomical structure. Method: Pubmed and Google Scholar were both consulted for the advanced literature research using the following search string on Pubmed: ((("ambient") AND ("wing")) OR (((retrothalamic) OR (retropulvinar)) (intercommunicant))) AND ("cister∗")) NOT("temprature"). In addition to the following string on Google scholar: Ambient AND wing cisterna OR cistern. Results: 836 results were obtained, after exclusion of unrelated engineering articles and veterinary papers, only 60 papers remained. Ambient wing, retrothalamic, retropulvinar & intercommunicant cisterns were mentioned within the related 60 articles but none of them explained it as a whole research entity independently. Conclusion: The ambient cistern has supratentorial and infratentorial parts and is continuous with basal cisterns posteriorly giving rise to the ambient wing cistern. They are believed to be separate constantly existing anatomical structures despite their intimate communication and axial perpendicularity. The wing of AC has significance importance in the diagnosis and treatment of the masses lying adjacent to the tentorial hiatus. It can be exposed either by sub temporal or occipital interhemispheric approach as it locates inferoposteriorly to the AC.
