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

BACKGROUND &

introductionMeningiomas are tumors that originate from non-neuroepithelial progenitor cells, meningothelial cells and the arachnoid cap cells, thus they usually appear with attachment to the dura mater. But sylvian fissure meningiomas are a rare type of meningioma that has no dural attachment. CASE PRESENTATION: A rare case of sylvian fissure meningioma is presented. The patient is a 34-year-old male with headache, and preoperative images showed a massive lesion in his right frontotemporal lobe that had no contact with the dura mater. Postoperative histopathological examination confirmed the diagnosis of a clear cell meningioma, which is a WHO grade 2 atypical meningioma and a rare subtype of meningioma that only accounts for less than 1% of all meningiomas.

conclusionPreoperative diagnosis of sylvian meningiomas can be challenging, leading to inappropriate operation plan and postoperative treatment. Thus, we present this case and a brief review of past cases reported, hoping to improve our understanding of the origin of meningiomas and accuracy in diagnosis of similar lesions.
