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

introductionAtypical (WHO grade II) and malignant meningiomas (WHO Grade III) are a rare subset of primary intracranial tumors. Given their relatively high recurrence rate after surgical resection and radiotherapy, there has been a recent push to explore other adjuvant treatment options for these treatment-refractory tumors. Recent advances in molecular sequencing of tumors have elucidated new pathways and drug targets which are currently being studied. This article provides a thorough overview of novel investigational therapeutics including targeted therapy, immunotherapy, and new technological modalities for atypical and malignant meningiomas.

methodsWe performed a comprehensive review of the available literature regarding preclinical and clinical evidence for emerging treatments for high grade meningiomas from 1980 to 2020 including contemporaneous clinical trials.

resultsThere is encouraging preclinical evidence regarding the efficacy of the emerging treatments discussed in this article. Several clinical trials are currently recruiting patients to translate targeted molecular therapy for meningiomas. Several clinical studies have suggested a clinical benefit of combinatorial treatment for these treatment-refractory tumors.

conclusionWith numerous active clinical trials for high grade meningiomas, a meaningful improvement in the outcomes for these tumors may be on the horizon.
