Diagnostic neuroradiology of intracranial meningiomas presenting with hemorrhagic onset: a double center 14-year experience.

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
purposeThis study aims to increase awareness of the hemorrhagic presentation of intracranial meningiomas in the emergency department and present clues for neuroradiological diagnosis, which is crucial for pertinent management. We described the prevalence of hemorrhage in a large population of meningioma patients, with emphasis on clinical presentation, computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance (MR), and digital subtraction angiography (DSA) findings.
methodsThis retrospective analysis has been performed at two reference institutions between January 2002 and December 2015, and includes 1304 patients with histologically proven newly diagnosed intracranial meningioma. Clinical features and neuroradiological findings of intracranial meningiomas presenting with hemorrhage have been reviewed.
resultsTwenty-four patients (1.8%, 16 females, 8 males, age range: 29-88 years) were found to have spontaneous hemorrhagic onset of the newly diagnosed meningioma. A sudden onset occurred in 23/24 patients. Sixteen patients showed isolated intralesional hemorrhage, four had subdural hematomas, and the remaining four presented combined intralesional and subarachnoid (n = 2) or intraventricular (n = 2) hemorrhages. In 13 patients, CT showed both the hemorrhage and the meningioma. In the other 11 patients, diagnosis was achieved by emergency or early surgery (n = 5), MRI (n = 5), and DSA (n = 1).
conclusionsThe presence of an underlying meningioma has to be considered in the differential diagnosis of spontaneous intracranial hemorrhage, although this is a rare event. CT, MRI, and occasionally DSA were useful to obtain the diagnosis; however, in up to a fifth of patients, this was achieved at surgery.
