Pediatric meningiomas: a report of 5 cases and review of literature.
Review in Child's nervous system : ChNS : official journal of the International Society for Pediatric Neurosurgery, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 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
purposeThe purpose of this paper is to provide novel insight into the rare pediatric meningiomas.
methodsWe retrospectively analyzed pediatric surgical cases of meningioma during 2002 to 2017 in our institution. The preoperative, intraoperative, and the postoperative status were collected to find any unique features that has not reported in the past.
resultsNine surgeries out of 5 patients were identified. The mean age was 7 years old (range 1-14 years old). Four patients were females. The mean tumor diameter was 52 mm (range 23-81 mm). The tumor locations were optic nerve sheath, Sylvian fissure, parasagittal, trigone of the lateral ventricle, and cerebellopontine angle. The Sylvian fissure meningioma without dural attachment (MWODA) was found in a 15-month-old female. A relapsed parasagittal meningioma showed regression in histological grade and residual tumor demonstrated spontaneous regression. In the initial surgeries, Simpson grade 1 resection was achieved in 2 cases. The pathological diagnoses were 1 meningothelial, 1 metaplastic, 2 atypical, and 1 clear cell meningiomas. The mean postoperative follow-up period was 71 months. Three patients experienced recurrence of the tumor. At the latest follow-up, all patients were free of radiological tumor recurrence or regrowth with a mean follow-up of 4 years (range 1-6.9 years). All patients were in the modified Rankin scale of 0-1.
conclusionsMWODA is not considered to be rare in pediatric meningioma and should be included in the differential diagnosis. We presented a histologically regressed relapsed meningioma, which spontaneously regressed after subtotal resection. In the case of recurrent meningioma, surgical resection and adjuvant radiation therapy could be effective for long-term control of the tumor.
