Bilateral paediatric optic nerve sheath meningioma.
Article in BMJ case reports, 2022. 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
At birth, the patient was noted to have microphthalmia and optic atrophy in her left eye with no apparent cause. In early childhood, the vision in that eye began to deteriorate. A few years later, disc swelling was noted in the contralateral right eye. Neuroimaging was normal and a subsequent lumbar puncture found borderline high opening pressure. Vision and visual fields in the right eye remained stable until the patient was in early adolescence when she started to complain of blurred vision. Her pattern visual evoked potential showed a 75% reduction in P100 amplitude compared with the previous year. Repeat neuroimaging was suggestive of bilateral meningiomas and a biopsy was performed to confirm this. Subsequently, the patient was treated with proton beam therapy to salvage vision in her right eye. This is a novel case of meningioma presenting with enophthalmos due to contraction of the retrobulbar optic nerve.
