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 the most common primary intracranial tumors of adults. For meningiomas that progress or recur despite surgical resection and radiotherapy, additional treatment options are limited due to a lack of proven efficacy. Meningiomas show recurring molecular aberrations, which may serve as predictive markers for systemic pharmacotherapies with targeted drugs or immunotherapy, radiotherapy, or radioligand therapy. Here, we review the evidence for a predictive role of a wide range of molecular alterations and markers including NF2, AKT1, SMO, SMARCE1, PIK3CA, CDKN2A/B, CDK4/6, TERT, TRAF7, BAP1, KLF4,ARID1/2, SUFU, PD-L1, SSTR2A, PR/ER, mTOR, VEGF(R), PDGFR, as well as homologous recombination deficiency, genomic copy number variations, DNA methylation classes, and combined gene expression profiles. In our assessment based on the established ESMO ESCAT (European Society for Medical Oncology Scale for Clinical Actionability of molecular Targets) evidence-level criteria, no molecular target reached ESCAT I ("ready for clinical use") classification, and only mTOR pathway activation and NF2 alterations reached ESCAT II ("investigational") classification, respectively. Our evaluations may guide targeted therapy selection in clinical practice and clinical trial efforts and highlight areas for which additional research is warranted.
