Quantitative MRI comparison of early and late parenchymal injury after transcallosal vs. endoscopic approaches for third ventricle colloid cysts.
Article in Frontiers in surgery, 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: The interhemispheric transcallosal (ITA) and endoscopic approaches (EA) are established treatments for third ventricle colloid cysts (TVCCs); however, their relative parenchymal impact and the progression of associated MRI changes from early to late postoperative stages remain undefined. Objective: To compare early volumetric MRI findings after ITA and EA for TVCC resection and determine whether early parenchymal injury persisted on late imaging. Methods: Twenty-three patients (ITA, 13; EA, 10) with early and late postoperative MRI were retrospectively reviewed. Early T2/FLAIR hyperintensity volumes were segmented along the surgical tract (burr-hole tract subtracted in EA). DWI/ADC imaging assessed diffusion restriction. Late MRI evaluated gliosis, encephalomalacia, and parenchymal loss. Statistical, correlation, and sensitivity analyses assessed associations while adjusting for cyst size and hydrocephalus. Results: Early MRI hyperintensity volume was smaller after ITA than EA (349 ± 218 mm Conclusions: Compared with ITA, EA produced larger early parenchymal injury, half of which persisted as structural abnormalities on late imaging, indicating more persistent radiologic change.
