Metastatic Temporal Bone Tumor From Renal Cell Carcinoma Coexisting With Sphenoid Ridge Meningioma: A Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 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
Metastatic renal cell carcinomas (RCC) of the skull are relatively rare. Here, we present a rare case of a skull tumor due to metastatic RCC coexisting with a sphenoid ridge meningioma. A 69-year-old man was followed up for a sphenoid ridge meningioma. He had undergone a laparoscopic right nephrectomy for RCC 10 years previously. He had a new tumor in the right temporal bone, which rapidly grew with bone destruction within a short period of five months. Both tumors had a common feeding artery, and embolization of the artery feeding the tumor was performed before tumor resection. Intraoperative findings and postoperative imaging of both tumors confirmed total resection. The histopathological results indicated metastatic RCC of the skull and meningothelial meningioma. Systemic radiological examination revealed a metastatic lung tumor, and the patient was transferred to another hospital with a modified Rankin scale (mRS) score of 2 for chemotherapy. The presence of meningioma could have induced the development of metastatic bone tumors via a common feeding artery. It is effective to perform embolization of the artery feeding the tumor before tumor resection.
