Massive Foramen Magnum Meningioma Mimicking a Stroke.
Article in Cureus, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Foramen magnum meningiomas (FMMs) are skull base tumors that arise from the arachnoid layer of the meninges at the cranio-cervical junction. They typically present gradually, with symptoms ranging from asymmetric, progressive quadriparesis and sensory impairment to involvement of the lower cranial nerves. We report a case of a 50-year-old Asian female who presented with sudden-onset left-sided numbness. Neurologic examination revealed hemisensory loss over her left extremities. Imaging studies showed a meningioma within the spinal canal at the level of C1-C2. She underwent surgical intervention, and there was resolution of the symptoms upon discharge. This case highlights the importance of recognizing atypical manifestations of FMM, such as a sudden-onset hemianesthesia, mimicking a stroke.
