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

Myxoid meningioma is an extremely rare subtype of metaplastic meningioma, with only 17 cases reported in the literature. We present the case of an 85-year-old male who was diagnosed with multiple brain tumors following a magnetic resonance imaging scan that was performed because of progressive cognitive decline and aphasia for over 1 month. The tumors were located in the left anterior cranial fossa, left middle cranial fossa, and along the left sphenoid ridge. Gross total resection was performed on the tumors in the sphenoid ridge and middle cranial fossa. Histopathological examination confirmed the diagnosis of myxoid meningioma, although necrosis and increased cellular density suggested the possibility of an atypical meningioma. This is the first reported case of multiple lesions in a myxoid meningioma. Although myxoid meningiomas are classified as World Health Organization grade 1, their potential for rapid growth and clinically aggressive behavior warrant careful attention.
