Neurosurgical management of pineal lesions: Insights from a single-center study of 27 cases.
Article in BioMedicine, 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
Introduction: Pineal lesions are rare and surgically challenging due to their deep location, histological diversity, and potential malignancy. The complexity of the pineal region anatomy and the diverse pathological spectrum contribute to the lack of standardized treatment strategies, making appropriate management controversial. Aim: This study aimed to evaluate the surgical outcomes of patients with pineal tumors or cysts and to assess the impact of different surgical approaches, particularly the extent of resection, on progression-free survival. Methods: We conducted a retrospective analysis of 27 patients treated for pineal tumors or cysts at our institution between 2010 and 2020. Data regarding clinical presentation, surgical technique, extent of resection, pathological diagnosis, and follow-up outcomes were collected and analyzed. Surgical outcomes were compared between patients undergoing biopsy and those receiving varying degrees of tumor resection. Results: Our analyses suggest that total resection could be the most effective approach for reducing the risk of tumor recurrence. Furthermore, our findings indicate that histological subtype is a statistically significant predictor of progression-free survival in patients. Conclusion: Our findings suggest that achieving a greater extent of resection, when safely feasible, may contribute to improved long-term outcomes. These results emphasize the need for larger, multicenter studies to further optimize treatment strategies for these complex lesions.
