Stereotactic radiosurgery for WHO grade I meningiomas.
Review in Journal of neuro-oncology, 2010. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 23 papers, 2 of them syntheses that pooled 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.
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
Meningiomas represent a common intracranial tumor in the adult population. Although extirpation to achieve a gross total resection or at least decrease mass effect has been the mainstay of treatment, stereotactic radiosurgery has come to play an increasingly important role in the management of patients with meningiomas. Radiosurgery utilizes highly focused, beams of ionizing radiation to inactivate tumor cells. Image guidance and a steep dose fall off are critical features of this approach. The radiobiology of radiosurgery differs in certain advantageous ways from conventional radiotherapy. Radiosurgery initially was utilized to treat recurrent or residual skull base meningiomas. As success was observed in this setting, radiosurgery has gradually expanded its role so as to treat convexity meningiomas; it is also used as an upfront treatment for patients for whom clinical and neuro-imaging findings are consistent with a meningioma. Most large series demonstrate tumor control rates for patients with grade I meningiomas in excess of 85%. Neurological function is generally preserved or improved for patients with meningiomas. However, complications can occur. Longitudinal follow-up including neurologic and radiologic assessment is required. Single and multisession stereotactic radiosurgery will likely play an expanded role in the treatment of patients with meningiomas.
