Birth characteristics and risk of meningioma in a population-based study in California.
Article in Neuro-oncology advances. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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: We evaluated the potential role of birth characteristics in the etiology of early-onset meningioma. Methods: Leveraging a population-based linkage of California birth records (from 1978 to 2015) and cancer registry data (from 1988 to 2015), we identified 362 nonmalignant meningioma cases aged 0-37 years and selected 18 100 controls matched on year of birth. Cases and controls were compared with regard to birth characteristics, with adjusted odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) estimated from unconditional multivariable logistic regression models. We also conducted stratified analyses by race/ethnicity and age. Results: Female sex (compared to male: OR = 1.43, 95% CI: 1.16 to 1.79; Conclusions: In this large population-based study less prone to selection and recall bias, higher birth order was associated with a reduced risk of early-onset meningioma, while female sex and Black race were linked to an increased risk. There were also indications of differential associations by race/ethnicity and age of diagnosis.
