Surgical outcomes and predictors of complication in elderly patients with meningiomas.
Article in The Egyptian journal of neurology, psychiatry and neurosurgery, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 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
backgroundSurgical management of symptomatic meningioma in elderly is still a high-risk surgery due to increased incidence of complication rate. Many scoring systems have been proposed to expect the surgical risk and the outcome.The study tries to assess cranial meningioma surgery in elderly using the Ibañez grade for complication rate and the Geriatric Scoring System (GSS) for the surgical outcome (GSS).
methodsA clinical and radiological data were studied retrospectively in 42 patients with a primary intracranial meningioma at or above the age of 65. Complication rate, surgical risk, and outcome were statistically analyzed.
resultsThe mean Geriatric Scoring System (GSS) score on admission was 15.4 ± 2.6. Ibañez grade of severe complication or death (grades III-IV) were experienced in 26.2% of patients. It was more common in male and in emergency cases, but it was significant in relation to the comorbidities (
conclusionThe surgical technique for resection of elderly meningioma still had numbered cases of morbidity and mortality. The complication rate is related to preoperative co-morbidity and frequently associated with male and urgent surgery. Karnofsky score > 70, and RFS are favorable prognosis and related to GSS > 16 scores. The recurrence rate is usually attributed to high tumor grade and skull base tumor. Such scoring systems are valuable for elderly meningioma.
