Subjective cognitive functioning in patients with a meningioma: Its course and association with objective cognitive functioning and psychological symptoms.
Article in Psycho-oncology, 2019. 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
objectiveAlthough meningioma patients show deficits in objective cognitive functioning (OCF) measured with neuropsychological tests, subjective cognitive functioning (SCF) has received little attention. We investigate SCF from pre- to postsurgery and its associations with OCF, psychological, sociodemographic, and clinical characteristics.
methodsSCF was measured using the Cognitive Failures Questionnaire (CFQ) 1 day before (T0) and 3 (T3) and 12 months (T12) after surgery. Patients' scores were compared with normative data and changes over time were assessed. The neuropsychological battery CNS Vital Signs and the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale were administered. Correlations of SCF with OCF, psychological, sociodemographic, and clinical characteristics were explored.
resultsPatients reported significantly better SCF as compared with controls at T0 (N = 54) and T3 (N = 242), but not at T12 (N = 50). A significant decrease in group level SCF was observed from T0 to T12 (n = 24, P < .001). SCF was associated with anxiety at all time points (rs = -0.543 to -0.352) and with depression at T3 and T12 (r = -0.338 and -0.574), but not with OCF, sociodemographic, or clinical characteristics (rs = -0.202 to 0.288).
conclusionsMeningioma patients experienced better SCF as compared with controls before and 3 months after surgery, which might be the result of phenomena related to disease and recovery. As the findings suggest that cognitive symptoms might increase later on, future studies should further investigate the course of SCF in meningioma patients. In clinical practice, measurements of SCF should be combined with those of OCF and psychological distress in order to determine whether and which interventions are needed.
