An Extracranial, Infratemporal Meningioma Following Neoadjuvant Radiotherapy: A Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Extracranial meningiomas are uncommon tumors and represent an unusual manifestation of a typically intracranial disease. While most are intracranial, primary extracranial presentations may arise independently or represent extensions of intracranial disease. Radiation exposure is a recognized but uncommon risk factor. We present a case of a 66-year-old male patient who developed a painless, preauricular mass more than a decade after cranial radiotherapy for acromegaly. Imaging revealed a well-circumscribed, enhancing lesion centered in the infratemporal fossa, with bony remodeling but no intracranial extension. Surgical excision was performed using a modified Blair approach, preserving the facial nerve. Histology confirmed a WHO Grade I meningioma. This case highlights the importance of long-term follow-up in irradiated patients and the value of multidisciplinary planning for complex skull base tumors.
