Treatment of intracranial meningioma with single-session and fractionated radiosurgery: a propensity score matching study.
Article in Scientific reports, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
Single-session stereotactic radiosurgery (SSRS) is recognized as a safe and efficient treatment for meningioma. We aim to compare the long-term efficacy and safety of fractionated stereotactic radiotherapy (FSRT) with SSRS in the treatment of grade I meningioma. A total of 228 patients with 245 tumors treated with radiosurgery between March 2006 and June 2017were retrospectively evaluated. Of these, 147 (64.5%) patients were treated with SSRS. The remaining 81 patients (35.5%) were treated with a fractionated technique. Protocols to treat meningioma were classified as 12-16 Gy per fraction for SSRS and 7 Gy/fraction/day for three consecutive days to reach a total dose of 21 Gy for FSRT. In univariate and multivariate analyses, tumor volume was found to be associated with local control rate (hazard ratio = 4.98, p = 0.025). The difference in actuarial local control rate (LCR) between the SSRS and FSRT groups after propensity score matching (PSM) was not statistically significant during the 2-year (96.86% versus 100.00%, respectively; p = 0.175), 5-year (94.76% versus 97.56%, respectively; p = 0.373), and 10-year (74.40% versus 91.46%, respectively; p = 0.204) follow-up period. FSRT and SSRS were equally well-tolerated and effective for the treatment of intracranial benign meningioma during the10-year follow-up period.
