1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

Atypical or malignant transformation (AT/MT) has been described in WHO grade I meningiomas. Our aim was to identify predictive factors of AT/MT at recurrence. A total of N = 15 WHO grade increases were observed in N = 13 patients (0.96% of the study population, risk of transformation of 0.12% per patient-year follow-up). Patients with and without progression at recurrence were similar regarding age, gender distribution, skull-base location, bone infiltration, and Simpson grades. Recurrence-free survival was lower in patients with transformation (5 ± 4.06 years versus 7.3 ± 5.4 years; p = 0.03). Among patient age, gender, skull base location, extent of resection or post-operative RT, no predictor of AT/MT was identified, despite a follow-up of 10,524 patient-years. The annual risk of transformation of WHO grade I meningiomas was 0.12% per patient-year follow-up. Despite the important number of patients included and their extended follow-up, we did not identify any risk factor for transformation. A total of 1,352 patients with surgically managed WHO grade I meningioma from a mixed retro-and prospective database with mean follow-up of 9.2 years ± 5.7 years (0.3-20.9 years) were reviewed. Recurring tumors at the site of initial surgery were considered as recurrence.
