Aqueductal glioma surgery via a telovelar approach using sodium fluorescein in a 6-year-old pediatric patient.

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
Periaqueductal gliomas are a subset of brainstem gliomas that typically present symptoms related to hydrocephalus due to obstruction of cerebrospinal fluid pathways. These tumors are generally low grade and have a favorable prognosis. Management often focuses on resolving hydrocephalus, with surgical intervention considered when symptoms or radiological images worsen. Sodium fluorescein is a fluorescent dye used in brain tumor surgeries to enhance visualization, allowing surgeons to distinguish between tumor tissue and normal brain tissue more effectively. This technique improves the precision and safety of tumor resection. We present the case of a 6-year-old patient in whom we performed the telovelar approach to resect periaqueductal gliomas via sodium fluorescein (2.5 mg/kg) for adequate resection, with excellent postoperative results. Ethics committee approval was not required to perform the surgical procedure on the patient. The patient's parents provided informed consent for the surgery and gave verbal consent for the publication of their video surgery.
