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

Primary optic nerve sheath meningiomas (ONSMs) are benign tumors and are a common cause of optic neuropathy due to compression of the optic nerve. Management of this tumor can be surgery or radiotherapy, but radiotherapy is the preferred treatment modality due to the risk of damage to the vasculature and resulting vision loss in surgery. The ZAP-X (ZAP Surgical Systems, Inc., San Carlos, CA) is currently the newest cranial stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) platform. There are no reports describing its use or outcomes for ONSM. We present the case of the first documented patient to undergo ZAP-X SRS for the treatment of a primary ONSM.  The patient was a 68-year-old woman with a 0.27 cm
