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

backgroundAlthough the ipsilateral craniotomy approach has been used for the removal of falcine meningioma (FM), we report a case of FM that was minimally invasively removed using a contralateral interhemispheric approach assisted with endoscopy.

methodsWe used a contralateral approach with a small craniotomy of the FM. The tumor was detached from the surrounding tissue during internal decompression. It was dissected and coagulated endoscopically in a blind spot under a microscope, and a Simpson Grade I resection was achieved.

conclusionA small craniotomy with a contralateral interhemispheric approach assisted by endoscopy allowed minimally invasive tumor removal without complications.
