[Radiation therapy of meningioma of the anterior visual pathway].
Article in Der Ophthalmologe : Zeitschrift der Deutschen Ophthalmologischen Gesellschaft, 2013. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
Radiotherapy is an established alternative to surgery in the treatment of meningiomas. Particularly in cases of symptomatic tumors of the optical pathways, irradiation is the treatment of choice when the functional risks of surgery are high. Because histological findings are often lacking an interdisciplinary discussion is important to determine neuroradiological and neuro-ophthalmological patterns of the tumor. As a general benefit for immediate irradiation after subtotal resection could not yet be shown and the risk for side effects is increased, a postoperative radiotherapy has to be discussed in each individual patient. The choice of the special irradiation schedule depends on tumor size and its localization in the proximity of critical structures. Three-dimensional treatment planning with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) information on the tumor and its surroundings is mandatory. A precise immobilization of the patient is necessary for treatment in the area of the anterior visual pathways.
