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

backgroundPediatric meningioma with YAP1 fusion is a rare subset of meningiomas. Currently, there are lack of integrated clinical, radiological, and pathological features on this subset. Here, we reported a case of pediatric meningioma with a novel MAML2-YAP1 fusion variant and reviewed the relevant literature. CASE PRESENTATION: We presented a case of 12-year-old boy with meningioma adjacent to the superior sagittal sinus and falx. Simpson grade II gross total resection was performed after diagnosis. Pathologically, he was diagnosed as WHO grade I meningothelial meningioma with rhabdoid features. A next-generation sequencing-based gene panel was performed to determine the molecular features for potential treatment, and a novel MAML2-YAP1 fusion break point was identified.

conclusionPediatric meningioma with the fusion of YAP1 and MAML2 genes is more likely to have pathological features of rhabdiod cells, which needs to be validated in large-scale studies for exploring better treatment under the integrated diagnosis.
