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

Meningioma is a common intracranial tumor, originating from the meninges of the skull or spinal canal. Most meningiomas are benign tumors, however atypical or anaplastic tumors can be found in 6% of cases. Patients with asymptomatic small benign meningiomas can be followed without therapy, but in symptomatic patients complete surgical resection should be performed. For recurrent previously resected tumors re-resection is recommended followed by radiotherapy in selected cases. Antiprogesterone treatment can also be considered in recurrent benign meningiomas. Immunotherapy with interferon-alpha and chemotherapy should be reserved for all cases of recurrent meningiomas (benign, atypical, and malignant) when all the standard therapies have failed or contraindicated.
