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
Intraventricular meningiomas are rather rare and only represent a small proportion of all intracranial meningiomas. Data are still limited toward this peculiar entity and surgical resection remains challenging for neurosurgeons. The purpose of present study is to demonstrate clinical features, surgical treatment, and potential risk factors determined long-term prognosis of intraventricular meningiomas.A total of 89 surgically treated and histopathologically confirmed intraventricular meningiomas were identified in our institution from 2008 to 2018. Clinical features, neuroimaging findings, surgical records, and prognosis data were extracted and reviewed retrospectively. Group comparison and recurrence-free survival analysis were performed.Female predominance was well established with a sex radio of 2.1:1. Raised intracranial pressure and decline of visual acuity were 2 chief symptoms that patients generally complained of. Preoperative magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans were performed in all patients and there was a trend toward lateral ventricular meningiomas were larger in size than others (P = .07). Superior parietal lobule and temporal approach were widely adopted and lateral/4th ventricular meningiomas were more easily to acquire total tumor resection as compared with 3rd ventricular meningiomas (P = .03). After an average follow-up of 57.3 months, 6 patients experienced recurrence of disease in our series. Individuals with subtotal resection (P < .001) and higher World Health Organization classification (P = .001) were more prone to relapse.Intraventricular meningiomas presented with a wide variety of symptoms. Surgery remained 1st treatment of choice and optimal surgical approach should be planned individually based on preoperative MRI evaluation. Patients underwent subtotal tumor resection and with malignant tumor nature should be carefully monitored during follow-up.
