Spontaneous regression of a posterior fossa meningioma: A case report.
Article in Surgical neurology international, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
Background: Since most incidentally discovered meningiomas grow or remain unchanged, spontaneous regression is extremely rare. Here, we report a case of posterior fossa meningioma showing spontaneous regression. Case Description: A 55-year-old female was referred to our hospital because she was diagnosed with a left posterior fossa meningioma (diameter: 1.6 cm) during a brain check-up. The patient was followed up on periodic magnetic resonance imaging studies. Tumor size remained almost unchanged for 2 years but then began to regress. Twelve years after the initial examination, the tumor diameter idiopathically decreased from 1.6 cm to 1.1 cm while the tumor volume decreased from 2.3 cm Conclusion: Understanding the natural history of meningiomas is essential for a better selection of treatment approaches or appropriate follow-up. This case may provide new insights into the progression of meningiomas.
