Endoscopic third ventriculostomy for malfunction in previously shunted infants.
Article in Child's nervous system : ChNS : official journal of the International Society for Pediatric Neurosurgery, 2009. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT06341946 (Role of Endoscopic Third Ventriculostomy in Management of Malfunctioning Ventriculoperitoneal Shunt), which is not on this map. Cited by 16 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.

Abstract
introductionThe usage of endoscopic third ventriculostomy (ETV) as an alternative to shunt revision in the management of shunt malfunction is gaining popularity.
methodsWe review the clinical data of 45 patients who underwent ETV because of ventriculopritoneal shunt malfunction at Hacettepe University School of Medicine Department of Neurosurgery between January 2002 and August 2007. Medical records of the patients were retrospectively studied.
resultsMale-to-female ratio was 23/22. The cause of the hydrocephalus was aqueduct stenosis in 21 (46.9%) patients, newborn meningitis in nine (20%) patients, tumor in six (13.3%) patients, newborn intraventricular hemorrhage in four (8.8%) patients, myelomeningocele in three (6.6%), and trauma in two (2.2%) patients. Of the patients, 27 (60%) had triventricular and 18 (40%) had tetraventricular hydrocephalus at their radiologic evaluation. On admission, all patients had at least one episode of shunt dysfunction prior to ETV. Follow-up duration after surgery was 1-5 years (mean 2.46 +/- 1.64 years). Postoperative cerebrospinal fluid flow studies using the cine-PC MR imaging were performed on all patients. The overall success rate for ETV after shunt malfunction was 80% with 36 patients and failure rate was 20% with nine patients. All of these nine patients had undergone shunt insertion within 10 days-1 month after unsuccessful ETV.
conclusionEndoscopic third ventriculostomy is an effective treatment for shunt malfunction.
