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: Intraventricular tumors present a difficult decision regarding the selection of the optimal surgical approach for their resection. Among various possibilities, the parietal transcortical approach (PTA) is currently used in this endeavor. Methods: A comprehensive literature review was conducted on the surgical approaches used for the resection of intraventricular tumors, focusing on the PTA. Results: This approach presents multiple potential sequelae, some of them clinically recognized, sequelae that have varying clinical significance. Conclusion: The PTA should be replaced by other safer ones.
