Impact of intraoperative ultrasound guidance on resection of nondominant frontal lobe tumors: Effects on extent of resection, neurological status, and postoperative seizures.

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
Background: Achieving an optimal balance between the maximal possible extent of resection and preservation of neurological function remains a major challenge in neuro-oncology, particularly in tumors located within functionally eloquent areas. Intraoperative ultrasound (IOUS) provides real-time visualization, potentially enhancing surgical precision and improving clinical outcomes. Methods: A retrospective comparative analysis was conducted on 90 patients, divided into two groups: IOUS ( Results: The extent of resection was comparable between groups (94.5% vs. 91.8%, Conclusion: The use of IOUS in the resection of tumors of the right nondominant frontal lobe enables a high extent of resection, shows a trend toward better preservation of neurological function, and significantly reduces the risk of early postoperative seizures.
