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

Papillary meningioma (PM) represents a very rare histological subtype, which may present with massive intracerebral hemorrhage. Gross total tumor resection results in a lower recurrence rate and mortality. A 69-year-old man had been experiencing headache for 6 months. After exacerbating right frontal headache, he was brought to the emergency room. His Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) was 11/15 and he had a left-sided hemiparesis. A computed tomography brain scan revealed a massive right frontal intracerebral hematoma with transtentorial herniation. During right frontal craniotomy and blood clot evacuation, a fleshy, pigmented tissue was encountered. Histopathological findings were consistent with PM World Health Organization Grade III. Complete tumor resection, Simpson II was achieved with a second operation. The hemiparesis and GCS normalized subsequently. The diagnosis of PM relies largely on histopathology and is not commonly encountered preoperatively in emergency cases. Staged surgery in this case resulted in a good outcome.
