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

background and importanceThalamomesencephalic lesions remain a challenge to neurosurgeons for their eloquent anatomy and postoperative neurological deficits. With limited cases in the literature, these lesions are still managed in a case-by-case fashion. CLINICAL PRESENTATION: Here, we present a case of an otherwise healthy man who had a 46-day history of impaired vision and right-sided weakness and numbness caused by ventrally located thalamomesencephalic cavernous malformations (CMs). A modified transanterior perforated substance approach using the medial territory was performed for gross total resection of the CMs. No new-onset neurological deficits were observed postoperatively. Apart from visual improvements, the patient's muscle strength constantly improved and recovered full strength on 14-month follow-up.

conclusionThe authors believe that the transanterior perforated substance approach through the medial territory can be considered as an option for ventrally located thalamomesencephalic CMs.
