Pediatric meningiomas: 10-year experience with 39 patients.
Article in Journal of neuro-oncology, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 15 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
objectiveThe purpose of this article was to study the characteristics of pediatric meningiomas, including the clinical symptom, anatomic location, radiological finding, treatment approaches, and long-term surgical outcome as well as the possible influence factors of the prognosis.
methodsWe retrospectively reviewed the medical records and follow-up data of 39 pediatric patients who were treated by operation for intracranial meningiomas in West-China Hospital between 2009-2019.
resultsThe incidence of pediatric meningioma was 0.74%. The mean age at surgery was 12.2 years and the ratio of male to female was 1.3. Three cases (7.7%) were related to neurofibromas. WHO grade I was found in 26 patients (66.7%) and higher grades was seen in 13 (33.3%). The most common location sites were convexity (35.9%). Gross total excision was achieved in 28 patients (71.8%). The mean follow-up period was 54.4 months. The recurrence rate was 41.9%. By survival analysis, only gross total resection (p = 0.028) was associated with favorable outcome.
conclusionMeningiomas in children are very rare and have a slight male predominance. Pediatric meningiomas are more commonly located in intraventricular and have higher incidence rate of high-grade than that in adults. Although being challenging, the gross total excision should be underdone to achieve a better prognosis.
