Malignant meningioma of the falx cerebri in a child: case report and literature review.
Review in Child's nervous system : ChNS : official journal of the International Society for Pediatric Neurosurgery, 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
Meningiomas are common intracranial tumors in adults but rare in pediatric cases, with malignant histological features being even less frequent. Primary pediatric malignant meningioma of the falx cerebri has not been previously reported in the literature. We present a case of a malignant meningioma of the falx cerebri in a child who was admitted to the hospital following head trauma, presenting with mental impairment and limb weakness. CT examination revealed a right parietal epidural hematoma and a large intracranial lesion. The patient underwent drainage of the intracranial hematoma and a two-frontal craniotomy with tumor resection under microscopy. Histopathological analysis confirmed malignant meningioma, and genetic testing identified a YAP1-MAML2 gene fusion. There is no consensus on the clinical, imaging, and pathological features of pediatric meningiomas. In this paper, we discuss the clinical features, diagnostic and treatment protocols, and pathological characteristics of this case, along with a review of the relevant literature.
