Management of pediatric intracranial meningiomas: an analysis of 31 cases and review of literature.
Review in Child's nervous system : ChNS : official journal of the International Society for Pediatric Neurosurgery, 2013. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 21 papers, 1 of them a synthesis 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 purpose of this study is to understand the epidemiology, clinical features, behavior, and the prognostic factors that influence the outcome of intracranial meningiomas in children.
methodsThirty-one patients with age less than 18 years who underwent surgery for intracranial meningiomas during the period of at 1988-2012 at Voluntary Health Services Hospital, Chennai, India were studied. These formed 3.7 % of the total 831 cases of intracranial meningiomas operated at the institute.
resultsThe study group included 22 (71 %) males and 9 (29 %) females. The mean age of presentation was 15 years, with the youngest being 9 months old. Two (6 %) had evidence of neurofibromatosis type 2 (NF2). The most common symptoms at presentation were seizures in 11 (35.5 %), weakness of limbs in 11 (35.5 %), and raised intracranial pressure in 10 (32 %). Convexity meningiomas were seen in 16 (51 %) and skull base in 15(49 %). Multiple meningiomas was seen in two (6 %) of the patients and intraventricular location was found in one patient (3 %). Two (6 %) had evidence of NF2. Gross total excision was achieved in 26 (83 %) and subtotal excision in 5 (17 %). WHO grade I was found in 20 (64 %) and higher grade was seen in 11 (36 %). The mean follow-up was 46.2 months. Recurrence was seen in 20 patients (64 %). In patients with higher grade or with recurrence resurgery and radiotherapy was given. Three (9 %) had multiple recurrences. On a mean follow-up of 46.2 months, 25 patients (81 %) were neurologically intact, 5 (16 %) were having moderated disability, and 1 (3 %) patient died.
conclusionsChildhood meningiomas are uncommon lesions with a slight male predominance. They can have a varied clinical presentation. Higher grade is found more frequently compared with adults. Gross total resection is the goal and in higher grade meningiomas radiotherapy helps as a good adjuvant. Though the rate of recurrence is high, resurgery and radiotherapy gives a good outcome.
