Case report and literature review: Treatment of multiple meningiomas combined with multiple unruptured aneurysms in a single operation.
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 4 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: Although the incidence of a single meningioma or a single aneurysm is common, cases of multiple meningiomas combined with multiple aneurysms are rarely reported, and surgical treatment of the coexisting situation is also relatively uncommon. Case presentation: A 38-year-old male patient presented to the neurosurgery department of our center with a headache. Examination revealed only symptoms of headache. Laboratory tests showed only decreased total protein and albumin. Magnetic resonance imaging showed preoccupation with the frontal lobe and the right temple bone. Magnetic resonance angiography and digital subtraction angiography showed two aneurysms in the anterior communicating artery and right anterior cerebral artery. Based on a combination of the patient's history and imaging, we hypothesized that the patient was simultaneously suffering from meningioma and an aneurysm, and both of them are multiple. The patient underwent tumor resection and clipping procedure based on this hypothesis in one surgery. Intraoperative biopsy proved to be a meningioma. The patient was discharged on the 10th postoperative day, and a postoperative follow-up suggested no complications. Conclusion: Multiple meningiomas combined with multiple aneurysms are rare to be reported in the same patient. For those unruptured intracranial aneurysms (UIAs) located in the visual field of craniotomy prepared for brain tumorlike meningioma, it is possible to do the clipping as well. When the meningiomas are multiple, fitted with the surgical indication, and located in a position that cannot be treated in one surgery, this may lead to a two-stage operation, no matter where the UIAs are located.
