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

Background: The suboccipital retrosigmoid approach is classic for cerebellopontine angle lesions, but accurate localization of the transverse sinus (TS), sigmoid sinus (SS), and transverse-sigmoid sinus junction (TSSJ) remains challenging due to anatomical variations. Traditional landmark-based localization is prone to venous sinus injury, highlighting the need for precise preoperative planning. Objectives: To evaluate the efficacy of 3D Slicer-assisted individualized localization technology based on multimodal image spatial coordinate mapping for TS, SS, and TSSJ in suboccipital retrosigmoid surgery, and to assess its value in reducing complications and optimizing surgical outcomes. Methods: A retrospective sequential before-and-after cohort analysis included 91 patients (December 2023-October 2025) divided into the experimental group ( Results: Baseline data were balanced between groups (all Conclusions: 3D Slicer-assisted individualized localization is associated with improved precision of TS-SS complex positioning, reduced venous sinus injury risk, and optimized surgical efficiency. Its low-cost and user-friendly features correlate with favorable conditions for adoption within primary-hospital settings, showing promising clinical application prospects.
