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

introductionA meningeal hemangiopericytoma (MHPC) is an aggressive tumor characterized by a high rate of local recurrence and late distant metastasis. The objective of this study was to share our experience with the treatment of a MHPC and how to distinguish this tumor from a meningioma. PATIENT CONCERNS: A 62-year-old woman presented with symptoms of hypomnesia, hyperopia, and double vision for 1 month. Complete tumor excision was performed 6 years before. A biopsy sample was diagnosed as an atypical meningioma. DIAGNOSIS: MHPC with late delayed hepatic metastasis.

interventionHepatic resection was performed initially, followed by secondary neurosurgery for complete excision of the bilateral frontal lesion 1 month later. OUTCOME: Based on the tumor pathology and consensus of oncologic surgeons, radiation therapy was initiated. Adjuvant therapy was well-tolerated and the patient remained recurrence-free at 6 months after surgery.

conclusionHere, we report a case of local brain tumor recurrence and multiple hepatic metastases from a MHPC. Craniotomy combined with radical metastasectomy may be useful in such cases. Detailed immunohistochemical staining is helpful to distinguish a MHPC from a meningioma. Long-term follow-up is recommended.
