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
purposeTo determine if loss of H3K27me3 could predict higher risk of re-recurrence in recurrent meningiomas.
methodsA retrospective, single-center cohort study was performed for patients who underwent resection of recurrent grade 1 (N = 132) &2 (N = 32) meningiomas from 2009 to 2013. Association of H3K27me3 staining and clinical parameters was analyzed. Additionally, H3K27me3 staining was performed from 45 patients whose tumors recurred and were resected during the follow-up, to evaluate H3K27me3 change during tumor progression. Survival analysis was performed as well.
resultsLoss of H3K27me3 expression was observed in 83 patients, comprising 63 grade 1 (47.7%) and 20 grade 2 patients (62.5%). Both grade 1 (p < 0.001) and grade 2 recurrent meningiomas (p < 0.001) had a higher frequency of H3K27me3 loss, compared to de novo meningiomas. 8 of 27 tumors with retained H3K27me3 lost H3K27me3 during re-recurrence (29.6%), while no gain of H3K27me3 was observed in progressive disease from 18 tumors with H3K27me3 loss. Loss of H3K27me3 expression was associated with an earlier re-recurrence in recurrent meningiomas grade 1 and 2 (p < 0.001), and was an independent prognostic factor for PFS in recurrent grade 1 meningiomas (p = 0.005).
conclusionCompared to primary meningiomas, recurrent meningiomas more predominantly had loss of H3K27me3 expression, and further loss can occur during the progression of recurrent tumors. Our results further demonstrated that loss of H3K27me3 predicted shorter PFS in recurrent grade 1 and grade 2 meningiomas. Our work thus supports clinical testing of H3K27me3 in recurrent meningiomas WHO grade 1 and 2.
