Surgical treatment of rostrotentorial meningioma complicated by foraminal herniation in the cat.
Article in Journal of feline medicine and surgery, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
objectivesThis study was performed to evaluate retrospectively the clinical signs, complications and postoperative outcomes of feline intracranial meningioma (IM) with concurrent cingulate, transtentorial and foramen magnum herniations.
methodsThe medical records and MRI scans of cats with IM and cerebral herniation were reviewed. Cases involving concurrent cingulate, transtentorial and foramen magnum herniations were included. Owners were contacted to obtain long-term follow-up information.
resultsSeven cats (four castrated males and three spayed females) met the inclusion criteria. Median age was 13.0 years (range 9.9-16.1 years) and median duration of clinical signs was 35 days (range 21-163 days). The clinical signs of cats with cerebral herniation included visual impairment (n = 5 [71.4%]), ataxia (n = 4 [57.1%]), impaired consciousness (n = 2 [28.6%]), head pressing (n = 2 [28.6%]), paresis (n = 1 [14.3%]), torticollis (n = 1 [14.3%]) and personality changes (n = 1 [14.3%]). Median tumour volume, cranial cavity volume and tumour volume:intracranial volume ratio before surgery were 3.37 cm CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE: The results of this study indicate that surgical treatment of rostrotentorial IM is effective and allows prolonged survival, even in cats with concurrent cingulate, transtentorial and foramen magnum herniations.
