1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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 occipital interhemispheric transtentorial approach (OITT) is widely used for accessing lesions in the pineal region. Although reports are scarce, this approach can also be successfully applied to superior cerebellar lesions, involving the quadrangular lobule.

methodsWe describe the OITT approach for cerebellar quadrangular lobe lesions, providing relevant anatomy, surgical technique, and key technical considerations.

conclusionGross total resection can be achieved while preserving normal brain tissue and functionOITT is a safe and low-morbidity route for lesions within the cerebellar quadrangular lobe, as it uses a natural anatomical corridor, avoids manipulation of eloquent areas, and minimizes injury to normal brain tissue.
