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

The purpose of this study is to investigate the clinical characteristics and long-term outcomes of pediatric patients with intraventricular meningioma. We retrospectively analyzed a total of 30 pediatric patients with intraventricular meningiomas who were surgically treated at our department between January 2005 and June 2016 and analyzed their clinical characteristics and surgical outcomes. Among the 160 pediatric patients with intracranial meningioma, 33 (20.6%) had intraventricular lesions. However, only 30 patients had complete demographic and clinical data. A male predilection (male/female = 1.5:1) was observed, and the mean age of our patient cohort was 12.6 years. The lateral ventricle was the most common lesion site (88.6%). In addition, the most common initial symptom was headache or dizziness, and the average interval from symptom onset to admission was 19.17 months (0.25-72 months). Twenty-six patients (86.7%) achieved a Simpson grade of I. Based on the WHO classification, 28 (93.3%) meningiomas were classified as grade I, and the remaining two cases were grades II and III. During the follow-up period (0.67-10.08 years), 3 patients experienced tumor recurrence (15, 18, and 83 months, respectively), and 1 patient died of recurrence. Pediatric and adult intraventricular meningiomas present similar clinical characteristics and surgical outcomes; however, intraventricular meningiomas compose a higher percentage of pediatric meningiomas and have a male predilection. Compared with general pediatric meningiomas, pediatric intraventricular meningiomas tend to have higher incidence of benign subtypes. They are also more likely to be completely resected and have lower recurrence and mortality rates.
