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

backgroundMeningiomas constitute the most prevalent primary intracranial tumors, accounting for approximately 39% of all central nervous system tumors and representing a substantial neurosurgical challenge.

objectiveThis review aims to examine and summarize the current applications of artificial intelligence (AI) technologies throughout the diagnosis and treatment processes of meningiomas.

methodsA search was conducted in the Web of Science core collection and Scopus and PubMed, databases on November 9, 2025, utilizing a search strategy that incorporated the term “meningioma” along with related AI terminologies in the title. Literature was screened based on pre-defined inclusion and exclusion criteria, resulting in 52 articles being selected for this review.

resultsAI technologies have demonstrated considerable promise and added value in the management of meningiomas. In image analysis, deep learning models have facilitated automatic and highly precise tumor segmentation, significantly outperforming traditional manual methods. Regarding pathological prediction, AI models have successfully non-invasively predicted crucial biomarkers, such as WHO classification and the Ki-67 index, from preoperative MRI scans. In prognostic prediction, AI models have exhibited robust capabilities in forecasting overall survival, progression-free survival, and recurrence risk.

conclusionAI technology represents a formidable new instrument for the precise diagnosis and treatment of meningiomas, showing notable potential for clinical translation.
