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

Meningioma are the most common primary brain tumour. Classically, meningioma are phenotypically grouped using the World Health Organisation (WHO) classification system. However, it is now understood that the WHO approach overfits tumours into three grades, resulting in similarly graded tumours displaying phenotypically distinct behaviour. There is a growing body of research investigating the molecular biology of these tumours, including genomic, transcriptomic, metabolomic, proteomic, and methylomic profiling. Such advancements in molecular profiling of meningioma are providing greater accuracy in prognostication of tumours. Furthermore, a clearer understanding of tumour molecular biology highlights potential targets for pharmacotherapies. Currently, the routine application of in-depth tumour molecular analysis is limited, however as it becomes more widely available it will likely result in improved patient care. This review seeks to explore the important developments in meningioma molecular biology, discussed in the context of their clinical importance.
