Mast cells in meningiomas.
Article in European journal of histochemistry : EJH, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Meningioma represents the most frequent tumor of the central nervous system (CNS). Correlations between the presence of mast cells (MCs) and grade or other histological features of meningioma are still debated. Our study aimed to better understand the relationship between mast cells and meningiomas and to compare our results based on specific histological subtypes and novel 2021 CNS WHO grading system. We observed some differences as regards the number of MCs and meningioma grade. In low-grade (grade 1) meningiomas, MCs were observed in 7/22 cases, while they were consistently present in all eight high-grade cases (grade 2 and grade 3). Among the grade 1 meningiomas, we observed two "low-positive", two "intermediate-positive", and three "high-positive" cases. Among the group of high-grade meningiomas, the six cases grade 2 were considered as "low-positive", while the two grade 3 cases showed a higher number of MCs and were included in the "intermediate-positive" group. Even though with no statistical significance, due to the low number of cases, our results seem to confirm a sort of relationship between meningioma grading and the number of MCs, as demonstrated by the higher percentage of high-grade meningiomas showing MCs infiltrates, compared to low-grade meningiomas.
