Neuroendoscopic resection of pineal region tumors via the transfrontal-transventricular-transforaminal approach.

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
Purpose: To evaluate the clinical efficacy of neuroendoscopic resection of pineal region tumors via the transfrontal-transventricular-transforaminal approach. Methods: Clinical data of eight patients with pineal region tumors who underwent this surgical approach at our institution between January 2020 and July 2025 were retrospectively reviewed. Results: The cohort consisted of seven males and one female, aged 3-52 years. Gross total resection (GTR) was achieved in three patients, near-total resection (NTR) in two, and subtotal resection (STR) in three. Three patients underwent combined radiotherapy and chemotherapy. Histopathological diagnoses included three mixed germ cell tumor, two low-grade glioma, one high-grade glioma, and one mature teratoma. Two patients developed subjective memory decline. During a follow-up period of 3-29 months, seven patients resumed normal daily activities, except for one who discontinued treatment due to tumor recurrence. Conclusion: Neuroendoscopic resection of pineal region tumors via the transfrontal-transventricular-transforaminal approach is a safe and effective technique, particularly for lesions extending into the third ventricle.
