Team-Based Long-Term Multidisciplinary Inpatient Neurological Rehabilitation After Surgery of Cerebral Meningioma-Outcome and Confounding Factors.
Article in Brain sciences, 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
objectiveCerebral meningiomas are the most common primary intracranial tumors in adults. Treatment of symptomatic tumors is normally surgical; tumors not suitable for surgery can be irradiated. While there is good data on the effectiveness of acute therapy, little is known about the effects of long-term team-based multidisciplinary inpatient neurological rehabilitation. We analyzed the outcome of these patients undergoing neurological rehabilitation.
methodsWe performed a retrospective analysis of patients with cerebral meningioma who underwent specialized rehabilitation. We analyzed routine demographic and clinical data; the outcome was measured with the Barthel Index (BI) in patients with a BI of ≤90 on admission.
resultsWe analyzed 151 patients. Neuropsychological deficits were evident in 93 patients, and 9% had speech disorders. BI increased from 66.8 to 75.2%. Examination of factors influencing treatment success revealed that the number of secondary diagnoses had an influence on the average increase in the BI. No correlation was found for the other independent variables, including age, sex, tumor localization, stage, resection (complete or incomplete), complications, and length of stay.
conclusionsEven given the limitations of our analysis, rehabilitation appears to be effective in these patients. However, further investigations with a matched control group would be desirable to verify our hypothesis. Furthermore, studies regarding optimal intensity, timing, long-term outcome, and modality of rehabilitation are necessary.
