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

BACKGROUND/

aimLipomatous meningioma is a rare type of meningioma that is formed as the result of an accumulation of lipids inside the cell due to metabolic activity dysregulation. It differs from other types of meningiomas in its radiological and immunohistochemical characteristics. We report a rare case of a patient treated in our department for this particular type of meningioma who developed a type of migraine with the aura component as the first clinical symptom. CASE REPORT: A 55-year-old woman presented with a migraine and reported having phosphenes in recent years. Head Computed Tomography (CT) and Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) scans were performed; these showed an extensive hypodense and hypointense formation located in the left parieto-occipital region. This formation was implanted in the tentorium region, with a prevailingly adipose-type signal intensity. The patient underwent an occipital craniotomy with the total removal of the lesion. The histological examination indicated a lipomatous metaplastic meningioma.

conclusionWe reported the first case of a lipomatous meningioma presenting with a migraine with a visual aura. Seizures and headaches can be included as possible symptoms. According to the current literature, lipomatous meningiomas affect women more commonly than men. The patient of our reported case presented visual disturbances in the form of a visual aura, which occurred 10 years before finding the meningioma, and surgery dramatically improved the symptoms and quality of life.
