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

The WHO classification defines different histological variants of meningiomas. Mutations of the tumor suppressor gene NF2 on 22q have been described in 30% to 60 % of sporadic meningiomas. However, the vast majority of the meningiomas that have been subject to NF2 analysis belong to the most frequent variants like transitional, fibroblastic and meningothelial meningiomas. Within these subtypes, transitional and fibroblastic meningiomas harbor significantly more NF2 mutations than meningothelial meningiomas, indicating molecular subsets of these tumors. To determine whether rare meningioma variants carry NF2 mutations we analyzed 80 tumors. NF2 mutations were detected in 5 (36%) of 14 psammomatous, 1 (11%) of 9 angiomatous, 2 (22%) of 9 clear cell, 1 (33%) of 3 chordoid and 1 (100%) of 1 papillary meningioma. In the single papillary meningioma, 2 different NF2 mutations were observed. No NF2 mutations were found in 33 secretory, 7 microcystic, 2 lymphoplasmacyte-rich, one rhabdoid and one metaplastic meningioma. In the control group of 25 fibroblastic meningiomas, 11 cases were identified to carry an NF2 mutation. These results support the concept of different molecular subgroups of meningiomas which overlap with histological variants.
