Two-Staged Approach for Giant Hypervascular Meningioma Resection.
Article in Asian journal of neurosurgery. 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
introductionGiant meningiomas represent very uncommon and challenging tumors. Surgical morbidity is high due to the difficult and complex approaches to devascularize these hypervascular lesions. In the present series, we demonstrate a two-staged approach for surgical resection of giant hypervascular meningiomas. PATIENTS AND
methodsFour such patients having giant hypervascular meningiomas between July 2017 and June 2019 were taken in the present study. There were two falco-tentorial, one anterior and middle parasagittal and falcine meningioma, and one sphenoid wing with convexity meningioma.
resultsIn the first stage, only the hypervascular bone was removed, and the dura was coagulated and excised. In the definitive stage, usually undertaken 5-8 days following the first surgery, the meningioma was excised, leading to Simpson's Grade 2 excision in two and Grade 3 excision in the remaining two patients. There was one mortality of a previously operated malignant meningioma (histopathologically proven), owing to a cardiac event in the patient, while the other three were discharged without any new neurologic deficit.
conclusionTwo-staged approach for giant meningiomas represents a safe and effective surgical management, tolerable for the patient and more comfortable for the neurosurgeon.
