Neuroanatomical insights into neuro-ophthalmic presentations of skull base meningiomas: Pathways to precision medicine - A 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. 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
Background: Skull base meningiomas are intricately related to neuro-ophthalmic functions and have been related to direct influences on both the afferent and efferent visual pathways due to close contacts with crucial neurovascular structures. The present article reviews the neuro-ophthalmic presentations of these tumors, necessitating the need for precise anatomic information for the delivery of customized diagnostic and therapeutic approaches. Methods: A literature review was conducted using PubMed and Scopus, focusing on terms related to skull base meningiomas and their neuro-ophthalmic impacts. The review included recent and seminal articles to assess advances in understanding and managing these tumors from an anatomical perspective. Results: The findings underscore the diversity in neuro-ophthalmic manifestations based on the meningioma's location, affecting visual pathways differently. For instance, meningiomas in the optic nerve sheath typically lead to isolated optic neuropathy and are often managed with radiation therapy. In contrast, those extending from the sphenoid wing require more aggressive approaches like open surgery. This review highlights how the tumor's location dictates the choice of treatment, ranging from conservative management to multidisciplinary surgical interventions. Conclusion: Proper recognition of the sites of skull base meningiomas results in a treatment tailored to provide therapy aimed explicitly at neuro-ophthalmic outcomes related to the site of the tumors. This approach will not only help to treat effectively but also avoid a wide range of complications and, in turn, increase the effectiveness of the treatment results that a patient will receive. Future studies should aim to refine these anatomical insights toward further advancements in modes of treatment.
