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

Objective: Olfactory groove meningiomas (OGM) commonly present with olfactory deficits and compression of the frontal lobes. Given the relationship to dietary behaviors, our objective was to evaluate the relationship between OGMs and postoperative weight loss. Methods: Retrospective review of primary resection of meningiomas between 2017 and 2023 at a single institution was conducted. Neurofibromatosis type 2, pregnancy, weight loss medications, or surgeries were excluded. Data collection included preoperative body mass index (preBMI) and postoperative BMI (poBMI) at 3 to 6 and 12 months. Percent BMI change (pcBMI) was calculated by (poBMI - preBMI/preBMI × 100%). IBM SPSS Statistics (Version 27) was used for descriptive statistics and stepwise multiple linear regression. Results: Ninety-eight patients met inclusion with a mean age of 57.58 years. Three groups were stratified by location: OGM ( Conclusion: OGMs are associated with higher preoperative weight and greater weight loss postoperatively compared with other locations.
