Dielectric Spectroscopy Shows a Permittivity Contrast between Meningioma Tissue and Brain White and Gray Matter-A Potential Physical Biomarker for Meningioma Discrimination.

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
The effectiveness of surgical resection of meningioma, the most common primary CNS tumor, depends on the capability to intraoperatively discriminate between the meningioma tissue and the surrounding brain white and gray matter tissues. Aiming to find a potential biomarker based on tissue permittivity, dielectric spectroscopy of meningioma, white matter, and gray matter ex vivo tissues was performed using the open-ended coaxial probe method in the microwave frequency range from 0.5 to 18 GHz. The averages and the 95% confidence intervals of the measured permittivity for each tissue were compared. The results showed the absence of overlap between the 95% confidence intervals for meningioma tissue and for brain white and gray matter, indicating a significant difference in average permittivity (
