Pediatric meningiomas: A literature review and diagnostic update.

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: Meningiomas have always represented the most frequently observed primary central nervous system (CNS) tumor in adults. Multiple advances concerning the genetic and epigenetic characterizations of adult meningiomas have been made over the last few years, and a new proposition for integrated histo-molecular grading has recently been offered in the literature. Pediatric meningiomas represent a very small proportion of all diagnosed meningiomas. New literature has determined that pediatric meningiomas are clinically, histopathologically, genetically, and epigenetically distinct from their adult counterparts. Herein, we reviewed and performed a synthesis of literature investigating pediatric meningiomas. We then compared and contrasted pediatric meningiomas with their adult counterparts. Methods: We performed an extensive review of cases from English-language literature available in Pubmed using the keywords "pediatric" and "meningioma" as well as "children" and "meningioma". We reviewed and analyzed fifty-six papers that include 498 cases. Results: This literature review revealed that pediatric meningiomas differ from their adult counterparts clinically (location, sex ratio) and also in terms of etiology (germline mutations), histopathology (a greater incidence of clear cell subtype), molecular biology, and epigenetics. Conclusions: Pediatric meningiomas are, like other brain tumors (such as low-grade and high-grade gliomas), clinically and biologically different from their adult counterparts. Further studies are needed to better understand the tumorigenesis of pediatric meningiomas and to optimize their stratification in terms of outcome and therapeutic strategy.
