Aggressive Progression of a WHO Grade I Meningioma of the Posterior Clinoid Process: An Illustration of the Risks Associated With Observation of Skull Base Meningiomas.
Article in Cureus, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
Benign, small, and asymptomatic World Health Organization grade I meningiomas are usually managed expectantly with surveillance imaging with the assumption that they are predictably slowing growing. In this paper, we report the case of an incidentally discovered small, right-sided posterior clinoid meningioma in a 53-year-old female. The tumor was managed conservatively but an annual surveillance magnetic resonance imaging demonstrated that the meningioma had an unexpected significant growth impinging on the brainstem, requiring surgical resection and radiosurgery for residual tumor. Despite histopathological confirmation of a grade I meningioma, the tumor recurred significantly and incurred substantial neurological deficits, requiring further surgery and radiotherapy. This report illustrates the potential pitfall for expectant management of small meningiomas in anatomically precarious locations and draws attention to the need for detailed informed discussions with patients regarding the management of these tumors.
