Anatomy and Microsurgical Anatomy of the Pineal Region.
Review in Advances and technical standards in neurosurgery, 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
introductionThe pineal region is located at the posterior part of the incisural space. This region includes the pineal body within the quadrigeminal arachnoidal cistern. This article reviews the anatomic features of this region, with particular emphasis on those of interest for surgical access to the pineal region. MATERIAL AND
methodsFive cadaver heads fixed in 10% formalin and injected with colored latex were used for anatomic dissection.
resultsThe pineal body is surrounded by the following structures: posterior part of the third ventricle, tectum, the complex of the great cerebral vein of Galen, pulvinar nuclei of the thalamus, and splenium of corpus callosum.
conclusionThe surgical approach of the pineal body, whatever the way or the technique used (microsurgical, endoscopic, or stereotactic), creates a great challenge for the neurosurgeons by its location in the deep of the brain and its closed relationships with complex surrounding structures.
