Pediatric Temporal Lobe Meningioma With Meningioangiomatosis Mimicking Invasive Meningioma.
Article in Cureus, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Meningiomas combined with meningioangiomatosis (MA-M) present similarly to more invasive lesions because of their appearance on neuroimaging. These lesions are especially rare in pediatric patients and suggestive imaging can help identify them for differential diagnosis. An 11-year-old male child who presented with diplopia and a headache was found to have an edematous invasive appearing temporal lobe mass on magnetic resonance imaging. Despite the lesion's appearance, it was completely resected and found to be a benign MA-M upon histopathologic examination. The present case demonstrated a rare meningioma with meningioangiomatosis that appeared to be a higher grade or invasive lesion upon initial imaging in a pediatric patient. A review of the literature was performed on patients who presented similarly. Despite the rarity of this condition in children, neuroimaging should be carefully examined prior to surgical resection of similar masses in preparation for highly vascular tissue, and post-operative course can be better anticipated when MA-M is considered during differential diagnosis.
