Extracranial meningioma of the masticator space: a rare case report.
Article in Neuroradiology, 2026. 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
backgroundExtracranial meningiomas in the head and neck region are rare, particularly in the masticator or infratemporal space without intracranial extension. We present a case of an isolated extracranial meningioma manifesting as a deep facial mass and treated successfully with surgical excision. CASE PRESENTATION: A 47-year-old woman presented with a 3-month history of progressive progressive fullness of the right midface without neurological deficits. MRI demonstrated a well-circumscribed, contrast-enhancing lesion measuring 2 × 1 cm in the right masticator space, hypointense on T1 and hyperintense on T2 sequences. Ultrasound-guided trucut biopsy suggested meningioma. The lesion was completely excised through an intraoral gingivobuccal approach. Postoperative recovery was uneventful.
conclusionThis case demonstrates that meningiomas may present as extracranial soft-tissue masses in the masticator region in the absence of neurological findings. Complete surgical excision with negative margins offers an excellent prognosis.
