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

In managing osseo-invasive tumors, such as meningiomas, the treatment of choice is complete resection, including the dural origin and any involved bone. Virtual preoperative surgical planning, combined with tailored intraoperative reconstruction, can optimize outcomes. Repairing bony defects with patient-specific implants (PSIs) in a single-stage procedure has been shown to reduce operative time and morbidity. Here, we present the use of a resection template to further optimize reconstruction outcomes. We analyzed five patients with cranial tumors exhibiting significant bony invasion who underwent surgery at our institution between June 2023 and January 2025. Tumor resection was virtually planned in collaboration with PSI manufacturers (Synthes
