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
Brain tumors are primary or metastatic malignancies of the central nervous system (CNS) with significant morbidity and mortality. The overall prevalence of cancer including brain cancer has increased by more than 10% according to the National Institute of cancer statistics. The average percent increase in primary brain tumor incidence for ages 75-79, 80-84, and 85 and older were 7%, 20.4%, and 23.4%, respectively. This manuscript describes a retrospective study of geriatric cases admitted to the Neurosurgical Department in Khoula Hospital (KH) and diagnosed with brain cancer from 1 January 2016 to 31 December 2019. Of the study cohort, 58.5% were more than 75 years of age. The male-to-female ratio was (1:1.1). Meningiomas are found to be the commonest tumor (52.8%) followed by glioblastoma (GBM) (18.9%). Most of the patients had a Glasgow coma scale (GCS) score of 14-15 on admission (69.9%). Patients diagnosed with a non-meningioma tumor had lower GCS score on admission compared to meningioma patients with statistical significance (
