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

Angiomatous meningioma (AM) is a rare histological variant of meningioma characterized by prominent vascular proliferation, often posing intraoperative hemostatic challenges. We report the case of a 42-year-old man presenting with recurrent generalized tonic-clonic seizures and postictal right hemiparesis. CT imaging revealed a large, enhancing left parietal mass with marked perilesional edema and mass effect. In this rural setting, MRI and cerebral angiography were unavailable, requiring surgical planning to rely solely on CT findings. The patient underwent a wide left parietal craniotomy, where a highly vascular lesion was encountered. Early devascularization of dural feeders, stepwise debulking, and meticulous microsurgical dissection achieved gross total resection (Simpson grade II) with effective hemostasis. Histopathology confirmed AM. Postoperatively, the patient showed progressive neurological improvement, remained seizure-free, and was discharged on oral levetiracetam; follow-up imaging confirmed complete resection. This case underscores the need to consider AM in patients with seizure-related hemiparesis and demonstrates that, even without advanced vascular imaging, careful CT-based planning and precise microsurgical technique can yield excellent outcomes in resource-limited environments.
