Giant cervicothoracic extradural meningioma involving the brachial plexus: A case report.
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: Spinal meningiomas account for 25% of spinal tumors, with the majority being intradural neoplasms. Extradural spinal meningiomas, however, represent only 2-3.5% of cases. These tumors tend to be more aggressive, often invading neural structures, particularly the brachial plexus. This results in faster progression, higher recurrence rates, and challenges in achieving complete resection. Case Description: A 52-year-old male presented with right-hand muscle hypotrophy and motor deficits. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) revealed a large extradural mass from C7 to D3, compressing neural structures. Surgical resection was performed, and histopathology confirmed a World Health Organization Grade I meningothelial meningioma. Postoperative follow-up showed significant neurological improvement, and control MRI confirmed optimal decompression of the spinal cord and neural structures. Conclusion: Extradural spinal meningiomas are rare and challenging to treat due to their invasive nature. Surgical resection with decompression, combined with adjuvant therapies like radiotherapy, is crucial for managing residual disease and improving long-term outcomes. A multidisciplinary approach is essential to optimize patient recovery and quality of life.
