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

Meningiomas are the most common intracranial tumors, but it's uncommon in the pediatric and adolescent populations. Pediatric meningiomas differ from adult meningiomas by a higher rate of malignant change, atypical location, male predominance and a higher recurrence rate. The most common presenting symptoms in supratentorial pediatric meningiomas are the signs and symptoms of high intracranial pressure (headache, vomiting, and nausea) and seizures. The most common presenting symptoms in infratentorial pediatric meningiomas are signs of cranial nerve deficits. Magnetic resonance imaging of the brain is the gold standard modality for diagnosis. The mainstay of management is surgical resection with the aim of gross total resection, as it is the strongest independent prognostic factor. In this report, we describe an extremely rare case of gradual onset, progressive motor developmental delay in a 21-month-old girl with a huge right frontotemporal meningioma that was treated with surgical resection that, to the best of our knowledge, is the youngest in the literature.
