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

Introduction: Meningioma, a prevalent intracranial tumor, presents diagnostic and therapeutic challenges due to its heterogeneous nature. Metabolic profiling has emerged as a promising approach to elucidate its underlying molecular mechanisms and discover potential biomarkers. Material and methods: This study employed bidirectional Mendelian randomization (MR) analysis to investigate the causal relationship between plasma metabolites and meningioma risk. Genetic instruments were used as surrogates for both plasma metabolites and meningioma, allowing MR analysis in both directions to assess the impact of metabolites on meningioma risk and vice versa. This study encompassed data on 1400 plasma metabolites and 314,708 participants (1316 individuals diagnosed with meningioma and 313,392 individuals without meningioma). Results: Initially, 46 plasma metabolites/metabolite ratios were found to be associated with meningioma risk ( Conclusions: The findings of this bidirectional MR study indicate that 24 plasma metabolites/metabolite ratios lead to a significantly increased/decreased risk of meningioma, suggesting that the plasma metabolite profile characteristics serve as important serological tools for the early diagnosis of meningioma.
