Pulmonary and pleural metastasis of intracranial anaplastic meningioma in a 3-year-old boy: A case report.
Article in Molecular and clinical oncology, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
In adults, meningiomas occasionally display aggressive behavior and may occasionally metastasize. By contrast, pediatric meningiomas are rare, and there is limited information regarding their clinical characteristics, treatment and prognosis. We herein report the case of a 3-year-old boy with anaplastic meningioma with a history of local recurrence and late pulmonary metastasis. At diagnosis, a 70-mm mass lesion in was identified in the right frontal lobe, with intratumoral hemorrhage. The tumor was attached to the falx cerebri and was completely resected. The histological diagnosis was anaplastic meningioma, World Health Organization grade III. Two months after the surgery, the meningioma recurred at the same site. Although the patient received radiotherapy after a second operation, the tumor metastasized to the lung and pleura 8 months after the initial operation. The metastasis was resistant to treatment, even after gross total resection, and the effectiveness of further radiotherapy was limited. The patient succumbed to the disease 1 year and 4 months after the initial diagnosis. The findings of the present case and a review of the relevant literature suggest that recurrence and metastasis of meningiomas are difficult to predict. Therefore, such patients should be carefully monitored throughout the follow-up period.
