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

Meningiomas are among the most common primary central nervous system tumours in adults. Studies focused on the molecular basis for meningioma development are hampered by a lack of information with regard to the cell of origin for these brain tumours. Herein, we identify a prostaglandin D synthase-positive meningeal precursor as the cell of origin for murine meningioma, and show that neurofibromatosis type 2 (Nf2) inactivation in prostaglandin D2 synthase (PGDS) (+) primordial meningeal cells, before the formation of the three meningeal layers, accounts for the heterogeneity of meningioma histological subtypes. Using a unique PGDSCre strain, we define a critical embryonic and early postnatal developmental window in which biallelic Nf2 inactivation in PGDS (+) progenitor cells results in meningioma formation. Moreover, we identify differentially expressed markers that characterize the two major histological meningioma subtypes both in human and mouse tumours. Collectively, these findings establish the cell of origin for these common brain tumours as well as a susceptible developmental period in which signature genetic mutations culminate in meningioma formation.
