Role of galeal-pericranial flap in reducing postoperative CSF leak in patients with intracranial endoscopic procedures.
Article in Child's nervous system : ChNS : official journal of the International Society for Pediatric Neurosurgery, 2008. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers.
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
objectiveThe authors describe a simple technique to reduce the incidence of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leak following endoscopic third ventriculostomy and other neuroendoscopic procedures.
methodsAfter the scalp incision, the galea and pericranium are reflected in a single layer after the scalp incision which is then closed in a watertight fashion after the procedure is completed. The securely closed flap prevents minor CSF leaks which would have otherwise required intermittent CSF drainage procedures.
conclusionThis simple procedural modification is effective in children with thin cortical mantle and large ventricles who are otherwise highly susceptible for CSF leak in the postoperative period.
