The role of preoperative hematological inflammatory markers as a predictor of meningioma grade: A systematic review and meta-analysis.
Review in Surgical neurology international, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
Background: Inflammatory processes play an important role in the aggressiveness of a tumor. However, the relationship between inflammatory markers in meningioma grade is not well known. Knowledge of preoperative meningioma grade plays an important role in the prognosis and treatment of this tumor. This study aims to assess preoperative hematological inflammatory markers as a predictor of the pathological grade of meningioma. Methods: To ensure comprehensive retrieval of relevant studies, we searched the following key databases, PubMed, Science Direct, and Biomed Central, with evidence related to preoperative hematological inflammatory markers among meningioma up to September 2023. The studies involved were selected based on established eligibility criteria. The analysis in this study uses Review Manager 5.4. Results: Six studies were obtained from the search results. The total number of patients 2789 (469 high-grade meningioma and 2320 low-grade meningioma) analysis shows elevated neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) (mean difference [MD]: 0.29; 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.13-0.45; Conclusion: The parameters of NLR, MLR, and LMR have been found to be cost-effective preoperative methods that demonstrate potential value in the prediction of meningioma grade. To enhance the reliability of the findings, it is imperative to do further prospective study.
