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: Territorial arterial spin labelling (t-ASL) could be an alternative method to digital subtraction angiography (DSA) when evaluating feeding arteries by previous reports, however, blood supply variations on meningioma prognosis remains unclear. In this study, the prognosis of meningiomas mainly supplied by the internal carotid artery (ICA) and external carotid artery (ECA) was compared, and relevant clinical factors were investigated. Methods: t-ASL technique was employed to categorized pathologically-confirmed meningioma patients into the ICA, ECA, ICA co-supplied, and non-ICA co-supplied group. Clinical data on symptoms, age, gender, location, volume, Simpson grade, pathological grading, Ki-67 expression, Glasgow Coma Score (GCS), and Karnofsky Performance Score (KPS) were collected. Correlation analysis was adopted to investigate the relationship between ICA-supplied meningiomas and clinical variables. Ridge regression analysis was used to evaluate various factors on prognosis. Results: Thirty-three cases (53.42±9.66 years, 8 males) included 3 World Health Organization (WHO) grade 2 and 30 grade 1 meningiomas. ICA group had a higher dizziness prevalence (71.43%) and lower scores on pre- and post-operative GCS and KPS. Headache was predominated in ECA group (80.00%). Correlation analysis showed significant associations between ICA-supplied meningiomas and male (r=0.398), dizziness (r=0.637), visual disturbance (r=0.352), as well as pre- and post-operative GCS and KPS. Ridge regression analysis revealed meningiomas with low pre-operative GCS [odds ratio (OR): 1.566], ICA blood supply (OR: 0.180), and WHO grade 2 (OR: 0.172) were associated with unfavorable prognosis. Conclusions: Blood supply has correlations with clinical symptoms and prognosis of meningiomas. Dizziness and headache may be the distinctive symptoms in meningioma patients supplied by ICA and ECA. Meningiomas involving ICA supply, and with a high WHO grade may have unfavorable prognosis.
