Rapid Resolution of Pulsatile Tinnitus After Gamma Knife Radiosurgery for Tentorial Meningioma Involving the Transverse Sinus.

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
Tentorial meningiomas are rare skull base tumors that may cause pulsatile tinnitus when they compress adjacent dural venous sinuses, particularly the transverse sinus. Gamma Knife radiosurgery (GKRS) is an established modality for tumor control, but its role in relieving tinnitus has been infrequently reported. We report a 61-year-old woman with right-sided pulsatile tinnitus caused by a 2-cm tentorial meningioma compressing the right transverse sinus. She underwent GKRS with 13 Gy prescribed to the 50% isodose line, concentrating the 80% isodose volume along the sinus-abutting tumor margin. Her tinnitus resolved completely within one week and remained absent during follow-up. At seven months post-treatment, MRI showed a slight volume decrease (2.81 cm³ to 2.66 cm³), most notable along the sinus interface. The rapid symptom relief despite minimal volumetric change suggests that focused irradiation of sinus-adjacent tumor may alleviate tinnitus by modulating local venous hemodynamics. This case underscores the potential of GKRS to offer early symptomatic improvement in select patients with sinus-involving tentorial meningiomas.
