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

introductionThis is a very rare case of intraosseous cystic meningioma. There have been no reports of similar cases in the last 30 years. PRESENTATION OF CASE: A 62-year-old man, suffering from a swelling of the lateral wall of the left orbit was admitted to our hospital. MRI and CT scan showed a large intradiploic lesion involving the lateral wall of the orbit and the greater wing of the sphenoid. The lesion was cystic with a mural nodule. We operated the patient and removed completely the mural nodule and the fibrous wall of cyst. Histological examination showed that the mural nodule was a benign meningothelial meningioma. DISCUSSION: Primary intraosseous meningiomas represent a subtype of primary extradural meningiomas; they comprise about 2% of all meningiomas and are therefore rare entities. Cystic meningiomas are rare, their incidence compared to all other types of meningiomas is of 2-4%. The presence of a meningioma with both characteristics: cystic and intraosseous, like in our case, is an exceptional occurrence.

conclusionThe surgical management of tumor was easy; its rarity means that the case is interesting.
