Pretemporal anteromedial interdural approach to Meckel's cave: How I do it.
Article in Acta neurochirurgica, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
backgroundThe pretemporal anteromedial interdural approach provides direct extradural access to Meckel's cave by exploiting the natural plane between the temporal dura propria and the meningeal layer of the lateral wall of the cavernous sinus. After a pretemporal craniotomy, the foramen rotundum guides interdural dissection along V2 toward the corridor between V1 and V2, enabling controlled exposure of the Gasserian ganglion and proximal trigeminal rootlets. Tumor resection proceeds through internal debulking and circumferential dissection, with extension into the posterior fossa when necessary.
methodsIn this How I Do It article, we present the key technical steps of the pretemporal anteromedial interdural approach to Meckel's cave, emphasizing anatomical landmarks and operative nuances.
conclusionThis approach allows safe and effective removal of trigeminal schwannomas while limiting cavernous sinus manipulation and reducing morbidity.
