Surgical Approaches for Brainstem Tumors in Pediatric Patients.
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
The brainstem is a complex anatomical structure, and tumors in this region account for approximately 12% of all pediatric brain tumors. In this chapter, we detail both the intrinsic and extrinsic anatomy of the brainstem, propose a new redivision into eight anatomical compartments, and describe ten traditional safe entry zones-adding two novel approaches: the supratrigeminal zone for anterior-superior pontine lesions and the interpeduncular cerebellar route for lesions located between the middle and superior cerebellar peduncles. Anatomic knowledge of intrinsic and extrinsic brainstem structures, in association with refined microsurgical technique, intraoperative neurophysiological monitoring, and preoperative planning based on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and tractography, has enabled broader resection of brainstem lesions with low mortality and acceptable morbidity rates. However, it is the surgeon's responsibility to select the most appropriate surgical trajectory to maximize resection while minimizing functional impairment.
