A rare case of bilateral en plaque meningioma presenting as a bilateral exophthalmos. A 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
En plaque meningioma is a rare type of meningioma characterized by an infiltrative nature, sheet-like growth, and at times invading the bone. We report here a case of en plaque meningioma. The patient was a 66-year-old woman presenting with headache and painful bilateral proptosis. Cerebral magnetic resonance imaging revealed a bilateral en plaque meningioma showed as a bilateral hyperostotic of greater wing sphenoid bone associated with bilateral thickening and enhancement of the dura in the anterior temporal area and the retroclival region invading bilaterally the cavernous sinus, the prechiasmatic portion of the optic nerve, and the lateral rectus muscle of the orbit through the superior orbital fissure causing bilateral exophthalmia. Due to invasion of the cavernous sinus and the orbital apex, a subtotal but extensive removal combined with bony decompression of the cranial nerves at the superior orbital fissure and optic canal followed by adjuvant radiotherapy frequently produces good functional and cosmetic results, and over a 3-year period, follow-up magnetic resonance imaging scans showed no obvious signs of recurrence.
