Epidemiological profile of adult primary brain tumors.
Article in Surgical neurology international, 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
Background: The study was carried out to explore the epidemiologic profile of the incidence of primary brain tumors (PBTs) in Syria. Methods: A prospective and observational study was conducted in all neurosurgical departments of primary referral hospitals across Syria's 14 districts during 2009 Results: A total of 2,994 cases (1,532 males and 1,462 females) were identified. The average annual incidence rate of PBTs was 7.48/100,000 person-years, with gliomas (3.36), meningiomas (1.43), and sellar region tumors (1.25) being the most common. Meningiomas showed a female predominance (female: male = 1.6:1), while gliomas were more common in males (male: female = 1.3:1). The median age at the diagnosis was 52 years overall, 56 years for neuroepithelial tumors, and 48 years for meningiomas. Conclusion: The epidemiology of brain tumors in Syria shows a relatively low incidence, with differences in age and tumor distribution by sex. These findings establish a critical pre-conflict baseline for Syria and highlight potential under the diagnosis despite a functioning health infrastructure.
