Impact of patient ethnicity, socioeconomic deprivation, and comorbidities on length of stay after cranial meningioma resections: A public healthcare perspective.
Article in Surgical neurology international, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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: Postoperative hospital length of stay (LOS) is crucial for assessing care quality, patient recovery, and resource management. However, data on how preoperative non-tumor variables affect LOS post-meningioma resection are scarce. We aimed to evaluate how ethnicity, comorbidities, and socioeconomic indices influence LOS after non-skull base meningioma resection. Methods: A single tertiary center retrospective case series analysis of all patients undergoing non-skull base meningioma resection from 2013 to 2023 was conducted. Fourteen independent variables (age, ethnicity, sex, hypertension, diabetes mellitus [DM], chronic obstructive pulmonary disease [COPD], heart failure, myocardial infarction, stroke, dementia, cancer, index of multiple deprivations [IMD] decile, smoking, and alcohol status) were analyzed to predict the binary outcome of short (≤5 days) or extended (>5) LOS. Results: Four hundred and seventy-nine patients were analyzed, with 65.8% of patients having a short LOS of ≤5 days. Patient ethnicity (hazard ratio [HR]: 1.160 [1.023-1.315], Conclusion: Preoperative factors such as ethnicity, deprivation index, and comorbidities can potentially predict postoperative hospital LOS after meningioma resection. There is potential to develop decision support tools integrating these preoperative factors with peri- and post-operative data.
