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
backgroundMeningiomas (MG) are the most common form of benign intracranial tumors. Neuropsychological deficits are often noticed preoperatively. After surgical removal, both improvements and persistent neuropsychological deficits have been reported. Here we present the neuropsychological characteristics of a larger patient group following acute treatment for meningioma.
methodsThis retrospective study is part of an overall project investigating the postoperative characteristics and rehabilitation outcomes of 151 patients following surgical removal of MG. Patients were recruited at the neurological department of m&i-Fachklinik Enzensberg between 2019 and 2024. In addition to demographic data and tumor characteristics, the neuropsychological reports were evaluated by two experienced (neuro)psychologists.
results69 patients underwent standardized testing in the neuropsychology department and were thus included in the analysis. Upon admission, 52.2% of these patients exhibited attention deficits, 48% showed executive deficits, and 44% had memory impairments. No correlation was found between the extent of resection or the occurrence of complications during surgery and cognitive deficits. However, there was a trend showing that higher-grade tumors were more likely to cause cognitive impairment. The location of the tumor did not correlate with the impaired cognitive domains. At discharge, fewer patients exhibited attention deficits, and those that did had less severe symptoms.
conclusionsMeningiomas are considered to be easily treatable. However, our data show that neuropsychological impairments frequently occur after acute treatment, which may not be given sufficient attention in practice. Even mild cognitive impairments can lead to problems in everyday life or at work. We therefore recommend detailed neuropsychological diagnosis and, if necessary, therapy for all patients after acute treatment.
