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

The infratentorial supracerebellar approach is the most commonly used surgical approach for pineal and pineal region tumors in the literature (Mottolese et al. Neurochirurgie 61:176-183, 2015).The infratentorial supracerebellar approach is performed through a natural surgical corridor, which is facilitated by the use of the sitting position.This approach is particularly indicated for tumors that are strictly midline and measure no more than 2 cm in diameter (Stein. Surg Neurol 11:331-337, 1979; Stein. J Neurosurg 35:197-202, 1971; Pendl et al. Neurosurgery 26:641-648, 1990).Advances in surgical microscopy, the development and systematic application of microsurgical techniques and the improvements in anesthesia have all contributed to reducing complication and mortality rates, thereby popularizing this approach.We describe the infratentorial supracerebellar approach to the pineal region and we present how we do it.
