[Frequent neurosurgically treatable diseases in geriatric patients].
Review in Zeitschrift fur Gerontologie und Geriatrie, 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
Geriatrics and neurosurgery have several points of contact, which require a close cooperation. In this context, diseases frequently affecting old people include chronic subdural hematomas, benign and malignant brain tumors, normal pressure hydrocephalus, spinal compression syndromes, spinal nerve root and peripheral nerve affections. In the case of absolute indications for surgery (e.g., symptomatic subdural hematoma, paraparesis or tetraparesis due to compression of the myelon), no alternative conservative treatment option is available to prevent death or irreversible damage. Such interventions should not be withheld from geriatric patients, as long as there is a realistic chance to prolong their lives with a satisfactory quality and if they truly wish this intervention. With respect to relative indications for surgery (e.g., pain without paresis as a consequence of an affection of a nerve root or a peripheral nerve), surgery should only be considered once all options for conservative therapy have been exhausted.
