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 represent the most common benign primary intracranial tumors. However, multiple meningiomas (MMs) are relatively rare and can be challenging to manage, often requiring repeated surgical interventions and long-term follow-up. Here, we present the case of a 28-year-old woman who was operated on in 2019 for a right parasagittal MM, WHO grade 1. Her initial presentation was characterized by seizures and left-sided hemiplegia. Seven years later, she presented with recurrent seizures that were resistant to medical treatment. Neurological examination revealed residual left-sided spastic pyramidal syndrome. Brain MRI revealed multiple extra-axial dural-based lesions, including a large right frontal parasagittal mass. Subtotal resection of the largest lesion was performed. Histopathology confirmed the diagnosis of WHO grade 1 mixed meningothelial and fibroblastic MM. The postoperative course was uneventful. This case highlights the challenges associated with sporadic MMs, particularly long-term surveillance, tumor recurrence, and the potential need for repeated surgical interventions.
