Abscopal effect leading to complete disappearance of extensive meningiomatosis after gamma knife radiosurgery: Case report.
Article in Frontiers in surgery, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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 and Importance: The abscopal effect is partial or complete tumor response in a separate site that was not the target of prior local treatment. There have been only 50 well-documented cases from 1960 to 2014. Our case is the first one of presumed low-grade meningioma demonstrating a possible response Clinical Presentation: A case of a 70-years-old female with extensive intracranial meningiomatosis who had complete disappearance of all tumors after gamma knife radiosurgery targeting the right petroclival part of the tumor. She had complete resolution of her symptoms, which included hearing loss, headache, ataxia and dysphagia. Conclusion: The abscopal effect is an extremely rare phenomenon after local radiation therapy of a remote tumor. Our case demonstrates that this can occur in remote meningiomas after single fraction GKRS of a different tumor.
