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 and purposeMeningiomas often contain a pial supply, and devascularization through preoperative transarterial embolization (TAE) is useful. However, the efficacy indicators of TAE for meningiomas with pial feeders remain unclear owing to their challenging quantification. Therefore, we propose a practical and quantitative intratumoral cerebral blood volume (CBV) from the pial supply, called pial-nCBV. This study aimed to identify the efficacy indicators of TAE against meningiomas in pial feeders using pial-nCBV.Materials and methodsBetween 2015 and 2021, 25 patients who underwent preoperative TAE and perfusion magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for meningiomas with pial feeders were included in the study. We set 5 mm diameter round Region Of Interests as many as possible within the tumor at the border with the brain parenchyma, and calculated the intratumoral CBV from pial supply. The reduction rate was defined as primary outcome, termed Δ pial-nCBV. Additionally, we collected data on the injection behavior of the n-Butyl-Cyanoacrylate (n-BCA), including intratumoral embolization (IE) and feeder occlusion. We then analyzed the association between each variable and Δ pial-nCBV.ResultsThe median Δ pial-nCBV was 25%. The n-BCA was applied in 22 (88%) cases, of which nine (36%) cases were injected into pial feeders. The use of n-BCA (
