Challenging diagnosis and management of anaplastic meningioma in a pediatric patient: A case report.
Article in Radiology case reports, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
This case report highlights the diagnostic and therapeutic journey of a 16-year-old female presenting with chronic headaches, ultimately diagnosed with anaplastic meningioma. Despite its rarity in pediatric patients, anaplastic meningioma necessitates swift recognition and management due to its aggressive nature. Imaging findings, including CT and MRI, initially suggested a provisional diagnosis of hemangiopericytoma, emphasizing the diagnostic challenge posed by this condition. Surgical intervention revealed unexpected histopathological findings, highlighting the importance of thorough evaluation. Treatment involved frontal craniectomy and excision followed by adjuvant radiotherapy. While the patient's postoperative course was uneventful, histopathology confirmed the presence of anaplastic meningioma, leading to the adjustment of her clinical management. This case shows the need for heightened suspicion and comprehensive evaluation in similar presentations to facilitate timely intervention and improve patient outcomes.
