Minimally invasive neuroendoscopic surgery for cerebellar infarct: A technical note.
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: This document serves as a follow-up to our publication entitled, "Neurosurgical Treatment of Cerebellar Infarct: Open Craniectomy Versus Endoscopic Surgery," and seeks to offer a comprehensive analysis of this surgical approach. Methods: This technical note outlines a minimally invasive endoscopic technique for the excision of necrotic tissue in patients suffering from extensive cerebellar infarcts. Results: Our minimally invasive endoscopic evacuation of necrotic tissue (MENT) technique has been utilized successfully since 2014 as a substitute for conventional decompressive craniotomy. The procedure is distinguished by a mini-keyhole access and a 2-cm incision, which is subsequently utilized for the endoscopic extraction of necrotic material under C-arm guidance. Conclusion: This approach presents numerous advantages, including reduced surgical duration, smaller incision size, and a lower risk of infection. Our comparative analysis with traditional craniotomy revealed similar outcomes regarding the scale for the assessment and rating of ataxia (SARA) scale and Glasgow Coma Scale score, when employing a less invasive method. MENT is particularly beneficial for elderly patients with pre-existing medical conditions, offering a safer and more effective treatment option for cerebellar and posterior fossa infarcts.
