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

Meningiomas, originating from the meninges encasing the brain and spinal cord, are the most prevalent primary intracranial tumors, constituting around 40% of all such tumors. These tumors primarily manifest within the dura mater, the outermost meningeal layer, and occasionally in locations such as the ventricular system. However, the concurrent presence of dural and intraventricular meningiomas is exceedingly rare. It could be challenging to tell them apart from metastases. We present a case of a middle-aged female with chronic headaches, where magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) revealed two distinct supratentorial lesions, one dural and the other intraventricular. Surgical excision was successfully performed, and histopathological analysis confirmed the presence of meningiomas in both locations, and subsequent referral was made for comprehensive management, encompassing radiotherapy and chemotherapy. This case underscores the significance of advanced imaging modalities, particularly MRI, in diagnosing and assessing intricate brain tumors.
