A Primary Pulmonary Meningioma That Grew Over 10 Years: A Surgical Case Report.

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
Primary pulmonary meningiomas (PPMs) are rare meningothelial proliferation that lacks characteristic imaging findings, making their distinction from other peripheral lung tumors challenging. Therefore, surgical resection is often performed for the diagnosis and treatment of PPM. Herein, we describe a surgical case of PPM that grew over 10 years. A 63-year-old woman was referred to our department due to right middle lobe lung tumor enlargement. No significant symptoms were observed. Chest computed tomography revealed a tumor in the middle lobe of the right lung. F-18 fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography showed accumulation in the nodule; thus, lung cancer could not be ruled out. Therefore, the preoperative differential diagnosis was cStageIB lung cancer. A right middle lobectomy was performed, and a histopathology examination revealed meningioma. There were no primary lesions in the head and whole spine magnetic resonance imaging, thus, a final diagnosis of PPM was made. Cautious observation is required postoperatively due to the possibility of recurrence.
