Spinal meningioma and factors predictive of post-operative deterioration.
Article in Journal of neuro-oncology, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 18 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
purposeSpinal meningiomas are slow-growing intradural-extramedullary tumors. They are usually associated with good outcomes. However, there are few descriptions of factors predictive of impaired evolution. Our objective was to identify predictive factors of post-operative deterioration as well as outcomes at follow-up.
methodsBetween 2009 and 2016, 87 patients had surgery for spinal meningioma in our referral center. Clinical presentation, management and outcomes were reported during the post-operative period and at 3-month follow-up. Evaluation was based on post-operative neurological deterioration defined as an increase of at least one point in the McCormick score compared to the status at admission.
resultsDuring the study period, post-operative deterioration occurred in 17 patients (19.5%). Risk factors associated with this deterioration were the absence of pre-operative neurological signs (Relative Risk; RR = 2.38, p = 0.04), an anterior location of the meningioma and a grade 2 meningioma on WHO classification score (RR = 6, p ≤ 0.01). At 3-month follow-up, in patients who initially presented with a motor deficit, partial recovery was found in 75%, stability in 20% and a deterioration of their clinical status in 5%. After a mean follow-up of 92.4 ± 51.9 months, the recurrence rate was 8%.
conclusionsSpinal meningiomas are usually benign tumors whose treatment is based on complete surgical resection. Progress in surgical techniques has resulted in lower morbidity rates and improvement in post-operative recovery. In this study, we observed several factors associated with clinical deterioration. Before surgery, patients should be fully informed of these predictive factors of post-operative deterioration and their association with surgical morbidity.
