Systematic Review and Pooled Analysis of Falcotentorial Meningiomas: Clinical Features, Surgical Techniques, and Postoperative Outcomes.
Review in Asian journal of neurosurgery, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Falcotentorial meningiomas (FTMs) account for a small proportion of intracranial meningiomas. They originate from the falcotentorial junction, a region where critical venous structures and deep brain regions intersect, making surgical resection challenging. Current literature on FTM consists mainly of isolated case reports and small case series, focusing primarily on surgical techniques. This systematic review aims to consolidate and analyze the clinical characteristics, surgical approaches, and outcomes of FTM cases to offer evidence-based insights that can guide clinicians in managing this rare type of meningioma more effectively. A comprehensive literature search was conducted using PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science databases to identify case reports and case series on FTM. Articles were included if they provided detailed clinical, surgical, and outcome data. The primary outcome was the incidence of postoperative visual field defects across different surgical approaches. Secondary outcomes included systemic complications, tumor recurrence, and mortality. The analysis included 127 patients (mean age 55 years, 51.3% male). The most common presenting symptom was headache (81.8%), followed by gait disturbances (21.1%) and dizziness (19.5%). About 49.4% of tumors were grade I, while grade II tumors were present in 5.2% of cases. The occipital interhemispheric transtentorial approach was used in 36.4% of cases. Postoperative visual field defects were observed in 12.3% of cases, with the occipital interhemispheric transtentorial being the most associated with higher rates of visual complications (
