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

objectiveTo retrospective analyze the clinical data of 162 patients with small cerebellopontine angle meningiomas. To compare with the nature of tumors, symptoms pre- and post-treatments, neurological deficit, and prognosis in literatures. To explore the surgical outcomes of small cerebellopontine angle meningiomas and summarize the surgical experience.

methodsAll of 162 patients with small cerebellopontine angle meningiomas underwent surgery between January 2010 and December 2019 in the neurosurgery department of the First Affiliated Hospital of Soochow University. This cohort of eight literatures reported about stereotactic radiotherapy of small cerebellopontine angle meningiomas between January 2010 and December 2019. All clinical data were obtained for analysis.

resultsCompared with stereotactic radiotherapy, surgical treatment for small cerebellopontine angle meningiomas lead to the better results in relieving symptoms and inhibiting tumor progression. Surgical treatment can obtain the exact pathological examination results to guide the further treatment.

conclusionsSurgical treatment should be the first choice for small cerebellopontine angle meningiomas.
