Minimally Invasive Management of Adamantinomatous Intraventricular Craniopharyngiomas: A Two-Case Series.
Article in Cureus, 2026. 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
Intraventricular craniopharyngiomas (IVCPs) are rare intracranial tumors that pose significant therapeutic challenges due to their deep-seated location, close relationship with critical neurovascular structures, and high risk of treatment-related morbidity. We report two adult cases of adamantinomatous intraventricular craniopharyngiomas, a histological subtype that is uncommon among intraventricular lesions, managed at the Neurosurgery Department of Mohammed VI University Hospital in Casablanca, Morocco. Both patients underwent endoscopic transventricular tumor resection followed by adjuvant Gamma Knife radiosurgery for residual tumor components. Postoperative outcomes were favorable, with improvement of presenting symptoms and preservation of visual, endocrine, and cognitive functions, allowing return to professional activities. After a follow-up period of 24 months in Case 1 and 30 months in Case 2, follow-up imaging demonstrated stable residual lesions without radiological progression. These cases suggest that a minimally invasive strategy combining endoscopic surgery and stereotactic radiosurgery may provide effective tumor control while minimizing neurological and endocrine morbidity in selected patients with intraventricular craniopharyngiomas and are discussed in light of current literature regarding their epidemiology, clinical presentation, radiological features, therapeutic strategies, and prognosis.
