Regression of Multiple Intracranial Meningiomas With Cessation of Progesterone Agonist Therapy: A Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
In this case report, we discuss a patient who experienced spontaneous regression of multiple intracranial meningiomas that were treated conservatively for 5 years after cessation of megestrol acetate, an exogenous progestin. In addition, we discuss the previous literature describing the relationship between exogenous progesterone medications and meningioma growth. This case, along with others reported, implies that cessation of progesterone therapy, when feasible, may alter the natural history of meningioma growth and thus impact treatment decisions.
