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

introductionMeningiomas with bone involvement account for 4.5-17% of all intracranial meningiomas. Little is known about whether these meningiomas (WHO grade I) behave differently than meningiomas without bone involvement. We sought to study the relatively uncommon imaging manifestations of meningioma and to evaluate their clinical significance.

methodsA single-institution retrospective cohort study of surgically treated superficial meningioma patients between 2011 and 2022 was conducted. Age, sex, preoperative imaging, operative data, and surgical outcomes were reviewed. Imaging variables and outcomes were reported for patients with bone-invading meningiomas and compared with those with nonbone-invading meningiomas. Univariate analyses were also conducted.

resultsOf 577 total superficial meningiomas treated surgically, 47 (8.1%) exhibited bone invasion. Most bone-invading meningiomas were parasagittal (n = 29, 61.7%). A total of 12.7% (n = 6) of patients with bone-invading meningioma had recurrence, whereas 9.1% (n = 48) of patients with non-bone-invading meningioma had recurrence (p = 0.426). No significant difference in the median time to recurrence was observed between patients with bone-invading meningiomas and patients with nonbone-invading meningiomas (69.8 months, Q1:53.1; Q3:81.4 months vs. 69.7 months, Q1:47.5; Q3:96.7; p = 0.638).

conclusionsSuperficial meningioma with bone involvement had similar outcomes compared to those of superficial meningioma without bone involvement. Hyperostosis in meningioma (WHO grade I) may not be a surrogate for aggressive meningioma behavior.
