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

backgroundMeningiomas are frequently encountered tumours. In those invading locally into the adjacent tissue, reconstructions may pose a problem. CASE REPORT: We report a case of a benign convexity brain meningioma with invasion into the skull bone and subcutaneous tissue. The tumour was removed completely, together with the infiltrated tissue and the defects were successfully closed with in vivo bone reconstruction.

conclusionsThe reconstruction of the skull bone is sometimes needed after the benign meningioma excision. Artificial bone may be a suitable material, allowing fast intraoperative reconstruction with excellent brain protection and cosmetic effect during the one-stage procedure.
