Radiation-induced meningiomas: A systematic review and meta-analysis of 927 meningiomas.
Review in Surgical neurology international, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
Background: Meningiomas are the most common intracranial tumor. Ionizing radiation has been implicated in the pathogenesis of radiation-induced meningiomas (RIM). Compared to spontaneous meningiomas, RIM are a clinically aggressive entity and are more likely to develop clinical and radiologic progression. Methods: Systematic searches of Medline, Embase, and Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials were performed. Pooled data were used to calculate rates of survival, tumor control, and adverse events. Results: Thirty studies met the final inclusion criterion within this meta-analysis. In total, these studies reported on 927 RIMs in 825 patients. Patients were grouped by whether they received cranial radiotherapy ([CRT]; Conclusion: High- and low-dose cranial radiation therapy can differentially influence the latency and grade of RIM, with higher dose CRT associated with earlier onset and more atypical tumors RIM screening may be warranted in individuals with an early exposure to cranial radiation given the increased risk of developing secondary neoplasms. These findings support structured long-term magnetic resonance imaging surveillance for survivors of childhood cranial irradiation, with risk adapted follow-up protocols to enable earlier detection and management.
