Epidemiology and Survival after Spinal Meningioma Surgery: A Nationwide Population-Based Study.
Article in Asian spine journal, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
STUDY
designThis is a cross-sectional nationwide descriptive observational and analytic retrospective study. PURPOSE: This study aims to describe and assess survival after spinal meningioma (SM) surgery. OVERVIEW OF LITERATURE: A few studies report a reduced survival after SM surgery.
methodsThe current study processed the Système National des Données de Santé (SNDS), the French national administrative medical database, to retrieve appropriate cases.
resultsThis study identified 2,844 patients (79.1% females) between 2008 and 2017. The median age at surgery was 66 years (interquartile range [IQR], 56-75 years). Moreover, 95.9% of SMs were removed through posterior or posterolateral approaches, and 6.9% were epidural and 0.7% needed an associated spine stabilization. Benign meningioma represented 92.9%, with 5% and 2.1% atypical and malignant, respectively. The median follow-up was 3.3 years (IQR, 3.1-3.5 years). Of the patients, 0.25% and 1.2% expired within a month and a year of surgery, respectively. At data collection, 225 patients (7.9%) expired. The 5-year overall survival (OS) probability was 90.1% (95% CI, 88.6%-91.7%). However, absolute excess risk of mortality after SM surgery was null, and the related standardized mortality ratio was 1 (95% CI, 0.9-1.2; p =0.565). In the adjusted regression, age at surgery (hazard ratio [HR], 1.06; 95% CI, 1.04-1.07; p <0.001), level of comorbidities (HR, 1.44; 95% CI, 1.34-1.54; p <0.001), neurofibromatosis type 2 (NF2; HR, 3.65; 95% CI, 1.28-10.39; p =0.0152), epidural SM (HR, 1.73; 95% CI, 1.09-2.75; p =0.0206), and malignant meningioma (HR, 2.64; 95% CI, 1.51-4.61; p <0.001) remained significantly associated to a reduced OS.
conclusionsThe SNDS is of great value in assessing SM incidence, associated mortality, and its predictors. OS after meningioma surgery is favorable but may be impaired for NF2 or older patients with a high level of comorbidities, epidural tumor, and malignant histopathology. SM surgery is not associated with an increased absolute excess mortality risk despite being performed on even more senior patients compared with intracranial meningioma.
