Pediatric meningiomas: a single-center experience with 15 consecutive cases and review of the literature.
Review in Child's nervous system : ChNS : official journal of the International Society for Pediatric Neurosurgery, 2012. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 24 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
objectiveThe goal of this study was to determine the epidemiology, clinical presentation, associated factors, pathological features, and treatment outcome of pediatric meningiomas in a single-center institution.
methodsClinical data of 15 patients under 18 years of age operated on for meningiomas from January 1994 to December 2010 were reviewed.
resultsThe study group included nine males and six females (mean age of 13 years at surgery). The most common symptoms at presentation were headaches in 6 out of 15 (40 %), raised intracranial pressure in 3 out of 15 (20 %), and seizures in 3 out of 15 (20 %). Sole operated tumors were found in 12 out of 15 (80 %), whose location is as follows: parasagittal in 4 out of 12 (33.3 %), 2 in the convexity (16.6 %), 2 at the skull base (16.6 %), and 4 in other sites (33.3 %). Six children presented with radiation-induced (RT) meningiomas and five had evidence of neurofibromatosis type 2 (NF2). Three patients had multiple meningiomas (all of them had NF2). Simpson's grade I excision was achieved in 12 out of 15 (80 %). On histopathology, 11 out of 15 (73.3 %) were grade I and 4 out of 15 (26.6 %) were grade II (all of them atypical). Five tumors (33.3 %) recurred, four of which had RT or NF2. During the mean follow-up period of 5 years, 12 out of 15 (80 %) had a good outcome (GOS=5).
conclusionsChildhood meningiomas are uncommon lesions with a slight male predominance. Absence of large series with long follow-up precludes any definite conclusions on the clinical course and outcome of these tumors. Associated factors (such as RT and NF2), location, and extent of excision appear to be more important than histopathological grade in predicting outcome.
