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

backgroundThe progesterone receptor (PR) is variably expressed in most meningiomas and was found to have prognostic significance. However, the correlation with patient age, tumor location, time to recurrence, and pattern of regrowth has scarcely been discussed.

methodsA surgical series of 300 patients with meningiomas is reviewed. The PR expression was classified as: 0. absent; 1. low (<15%); 2. moderately low (16-50%); 3. moderately high (51-79%); 4. high (≥80%). The PR values were correlated with the patient age and sex, meningioma location, WHO grade, Ki-67 MIB1, recurrence rate, pattern of recurrence (local-peripheral

resultsThe PR expression has shown lower rate of high expression in the elderly group (p = 0.032) and no sex difference (including premenopausal

conclusionThe higher PR expression in medial skull base meningiomas, the significant correlation with the time to recurrence, the lack of difference of PR expression between premenopausal and postmenopausal women and between local-peripheral
