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

purposePrimary optic nerve sheath meningiomas (ONSM) are benign lesions that typically present with findings of painless proptosis (59%), optic nerve pallor (55%), and decreased peripheral vision (35%). Herein we share an atypical case of a patient who presented acutely with periorbital pain and optic nerve head edema, and was ultimately determined to have a low-grade optic nerve meningioma. OBSERVATIONS: A 36-year-old healthy woman presented with acute onset of left periorbital discomfort. She was found to have intact visual acuity, full peripheral vision, and ipsilateral optic nerve edema. MRI imaging revealed a large intraconal mass partially encircling the left optic nerve. Incisional biopsy revealed a diagnosis of meningioma, WHO grade 1.

conclusionsLow-grade optic nerve sheath meningiomas may uncommonly present with acute pain and optic nerve head swelling, and absence of classic disease features.
