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

Background: Preoperative embolization has been proposed to reduce intraoperative blood loss and facilitate meningioma resection, however its clinical utility remains debated. This multicenter study evaluated the safety, efficacy, and angiographic outcomes of preoperative embolization and standalone embolization in intracranial meningiomas. Methods: In this retrospective cohort from January 2017 to January 2022, patients were stratified into three groups: standalone embolization (SE), combined preoperative embolization and craniotomy (hybrid surgery, HS), and craniotomy alone (control). Tumor characteristics, procedural metrics, and clinical outcomes were compared. Results: Compared to control group, the HS group exhibited significantly larger tumors (68.8 ± 10.6 cm³ vs 35.7 ± 11.3 cm³, Conclusion: Hybrid surgery optimized surgical resection for large meningiomas by reducing blood loss and improving resection completeness, while standalone embolization demonstrated feasibility for select small tumors with ECA. Both two strategies showed acceptable safety and effectiveness.
