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

Clear cell meningiomas (CCM) are rare tumors of the nervous system that usually occur in young patients and display high recurrence rates and potentially aggressive behavior. In this report, we describe a primary CCM of the orbit in an 84-year-old man with a previous history of a clear cell carcinoma of the kidney. Histologically, the tumor demonstrated a sheet-like proliferation of clear polygonal cells. Differential diagnosis includes metastasis of clear cell carcinomas. Immunohistochemistry, by showing that tumor cells expressed vimentin, epithelial membrane antigen, and progesterone antigens, and cytogenetic analysis, by identifying a monosomy 22, confirmed the diagnosis of CCM.
