Brain invasion as a diagnostic histological feature of atypical meningiomas: Not a standalone diagnostic criterion.
Article in Neuro-oncology advances. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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: WHO classifies brain invasion as an independent criterion for atypical meningiomas, though its prognostic value remains debated. Methods: This study retrospectively analyzed 1,476 primary meningiomas diagnosed at the First Affiliated Hospital of Fujian Medical University (1997-2021) using Cox regression and Kaplan-Meier (K-M) analysis for recurrence and recurrence-free survival (RFS). Results: Brain-invasive otherwise benign (BIOB) meningiomas had lower recurrence rates than classical WHO grade 2 (cWHO2) ( Conclusion: These findings suggest that brain invasion alone is insufficient for diagnosing atypical meningiomas and should be considered alongside additional histological features for risk stratification.
