A convexity meningioma presenting with an acute subdural hematoma.
Article in Surgical neurology international, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
backgroundMeningiomas presenting with acute subdural hematomas are extremely rare. To the best of our knowledge, only 45 cases have been reported to date. We report on a case of a meningioma mimicking an acute subdural hematoma as well as a thorough literature review. CASE DESCRIPTION: A 67-year-old man with no history of trauma was referred to our hospital with sudden onset of decreased level of consciousness and left hemiplegia. Computed tomography revealed an acute convexity subdural hematoma. Emergency surgery to remove the hematoma was performed. The hematoma was found to exist in the extra-axial space and the attached dura mater and pia mater remained intact. Pathological examination revealed a transitional meningioma, the World Health Organization Grade 1. Detailed medical history taken postoperatively revealed that a convexity meningioma had been diagnosed incidentally at another facility 1 year earlier.
conclusionAcute subdural hematomas due to meningiomas are rare, and establishing the cause is challenging. Prompt and precise diagnosis of such entities may afford patients a better prognosis.
