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

Meningiomas are the most common primary intracranial neoplasms of all brain tumors. Although the majority are benign, a subset displays aggressive behavior characterized by recurrence, anaplastic transformation, or, rarely, extracranial metastasis. Lung parenchyma represents the most frequent site of spread, followed by mediastinal and pleural involvement. Despite recent advances in molecular characterization, predicting metastatic potential remains challenging. We report three cases of meningiomas with thoracic metastases illustrating distinct biological trajectories. Case 1 involved a 33-year-old woman with a germline
