Elevated body mass index facilitates early postoperative complications after surgery for intracranial meningioma.
Article in Neurosurgical review, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
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
Surgical resection represents the primary treatment option for patients suffering from intracranial meningioma. However, early postoperative complications significantly worsen initial favorable postoperative outcomes. Therefore, the ability to preoperatively assess potential risk factors for early postoperative unfavorable events is important to preselect critical patients who might require special attention during clinical management. In the current study, we therefore analyzed our institutional database in order to identify risk factors associated with early postoperative complications after initial meningioma resection. Between 2014 and 2017, 202 patients with intracranial supratentorial meningioma were surgically treated at the authors' institution. Early postoperative complications were defined as any postoperative event requiring further surgical measures within 30 days following initial meningioma resection. A multivariate analysis was performed to identify independent risk factors associated with postoperative complications after surgical meningioma therapy. Overall, 13 out of 202 meningioma patients developed early postoperative complications (6%). The multivariate analysis revealed obesity in terms of elevated body mass index (BMI ≥ 30 kg/m
