A Cavernous Sinus Meningioma in a Child with Progressive Bilateral Visual Loss Ultimately Attributed to Unsuspected Optic Nerve Sheath Meningiomas.
Article in Case reports in ophthalmology. 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
Introduction: Pediatric optic nerve sheath meningiomas (ONSMs) are rare and have an aggressive presentation often resulting in rapid vision decline. Here, we report a case of a right cavernous sinus meningioma (CSM) with a delayed diagnosis of concomitant bilateral ONSMs, ultimately leading to permanent bilateral blindness. Case Presentation: A 7-year-old boy with a history of a right trochlear nerve palsy and amblyopia presented with worsening right eye vision. An MRI revealed a right CSM that was resected; however, the patient experienced a progressive visual acuity decline from 20/60 right eye and 20/40 left eye to light perception right eye and 20/400 left eye, along with bilateral optic atrophy appreciated on optical coherence tomography. Repeat evaluation of the brain MRIs revealed bilateral ONSMs characterized by a tram-track appearance. The visual acuity remained unimproved 3 years after optic canal decompression with optic nerve sheath fenestration followed by proton beam radiation. Conclusion: Pediatric ONSM is rare, with a high risk of permanent blindness in children. Intracranial meningioma and unexplained painless vision loss should prompt a careful evaluation of orbital neuroimaging for this condition.
