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

purposeTumor resection represents the first-line treatment for symptomatic meningiomas, and the extent of resection has been shown to be of prognostic importance. Assessment of tumor remnants with somatostatin receptor PET proves to be superior to intraoperative estimation with Simpson grading or MRI. In this preliminary study, we evaluate the prognostic relevance of postoperative PET for progression-free survival in meningiomas.

methodsWe conducted a post hoc analysis on a prospective patient cohort with resected meningioma WHO grade 1. Patients received postoperative MRI and [

resultsWe included 46 patients with 49 tumors. The mean age at diagnosis was 57.8 ± 1.7 years with a male-to-female ratio of 1:1.7. Local tumor progression occurred in 7/49 patients (14%) after a median follow-up of 52 months. Positive PET was associated with an increased risk for progression (*p = 0.015) and a lower progression-free survival (*p = 0.029), whereas MRI was not. 20 out of 20 patients (100%) with negative PET findings remained recurrence-free. The location of recurrence/progression on MRI was adjacent to regions where postoperative PET indicated tumor remnants in all cases. Gross tumor volumes were higher on PET compared to MRI (*p = 0.032).
