Use of intraoperative ultrasound in differentiating adamantinomatous versus papillary craniopharyngiomas and guiding resection through the endoscopic endonasal route.
Article in Acta neurochirurgica, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
Craniopharyngiomas (CPs) are surgically challenging tumors. The prevalence of BRAF mutation in papillary craniopharyngioma (PCP) and the positive response with BRAF-MEK inhibitors have shifted the treatment paradigm towards targeted therapy. However, maximal safe resection remains the goal, particularly for adamantinomatous craniopharyngioma (ACP). In this report, we describe two cases of CP where intraoperative ultrasonography (IOUS) was helpful in differentiating the subtype of CP, thus enabling intraoperative decision-making regarding the extent of resection. Additionally, IOUS images of three more (two PCP and one ACP) patients who underwent endoscopic endonasal resection for CPs were retrospectively evaluated. Each of these entities showed characteristic appearances on IOUS.
