Women in neurosurgical oncology: Mapping the milestones and shaping the future.
Review in Neuro-oncology advances, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Neurosurgical oncology, which specifically focuses on the treatment of central nervous system tumors, emerged in 1879 after Dr. William Macewen successfully completed the first brain tumor resection. The field has since dramatically evolved due to advancements in neuroimaging, neuronavigation, surgical techniques, and improved knowledge of molecular biology, allowing for the administration of safer, more effective, patient-centered oncology care. Traditionally male-dominated, the entry of women in neurosurgery and neurosurgical oncology gained momentum in the 20th century thanks to the groundbreaking work of pioneers like Drs. Louise Eisenhardt, Diana Beck, Sofia Ionescu, and Alexa Canady. Their work has paved the way for future generations of women in neurosurgery. Today, several prominent female leaders and physician-scientists including Drs. Karin M. Muraszko, Roberta Glick, Isabelle Germano, Galareh Zadeh, Viviane Tabar, Linda Liau, Amy Heimberger, and Kate Drummond continue to advance the field through innovative research, surgical expertise, and commitment to patient care, inspiring and mentoring the next generation of neurosurgeons. This review explores the evolution of women's roles in neurosurgery, historical milestones in neurosurgical oncology, and the contributions of prominent female neurosurgical oncologists whose dedication and achievements continue to shape the future of neurosurgical oncology.
