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

Intracranial meningiomas mostly affect patients in their fifth decade and beyond, raising pertinent questions regarding the risk of surgery, particularly in the elderly. Here, we describe the case of a septuagenarian patient with occipital meningioma causing severe visual field cuts that experienced full recovery of the visual function after a Simpson I resection of the lesion. This case illustrates the potential of recovery of the brain, even in the case of severely impaired function in elderly patients. To complete the picture, we review the literature on occipital meningiomas, advocating for systematic reports and increase data collection on post-operative neurological recovery in the elderly.
