Utilizing virtual reality for resection of recurrent ventral, extramedullary cervical meningioma.
Article in Surgical neurology international, 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: Virtual reality (VR) platforms are an emerging tool in neurosurgical planning, offering immersive, patient-specific 3D visualization to optimize surgical strategy and intraoperative navigation. Here, VR-assisted mapping was used to remove a recurrent cervical meningioma. Methods: A 43-year-old female with a recurrent C5-C6 ventral, intradural meningioma presented with newly progressive myelopathy due to recurrent meningioma and worsening multiple limb paresis. Using intraoperative neuronavigation and VR-assisted mapping, the patient underwent a C4-C7 hemilaminotomy for recurrent tumor resection, followed by a C3-T2 fusion. Results: Postoperatively, the patient had significant neurological improvement, and follow-up studies showed no tumor recurrence. Conclusion: This case highlights the utility of VR in presurgical planning and intraoperative guidance for complex recurrent cervical spinal tumors.
