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

Meningiomas are common and are associated with physical, cognitive, and emotional changes due to their growth and treatment methods. Longterm cognitive recovery following surgery is often underexplored. In this case report, we highlight resiliency and recovery following brain tumor resection and emphasize neuropsychology and psychiatry's role in long-term care. We present the case of a 64-year-old Black female Veteran followed with serial neuropsychological evaluations up to seven years after her temporal craniotomy and parasellar meningioma resection. Initial evaluations showed cognitive deficits and emotional instability, leading to a diagnosis of mild cognitive impairment (MCI). However, she continued to improve, and in the most recent evaluation, she was deemed to be of normal cognition, although depressive symptoms persisted. This case demonstrates significant cognitive recovery post-meningioma resection, underscoring the brain's resilience and the critical role of the neuropsychology and psychiatry services in long-term care and recovery.
