Radiologic evaluation of pediatric hydrocephalus.
Review in Child's nervous system : ChNS : official journal of the International Society for Pediatric Neurosurgery, 2011. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 31 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
introductionThe aim of this review is to present the contemporary role of radiology in evaluating pediatric hydrocephalus. Although conventional brain imaging with ultrasound (US), computed tomography (CT), and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) reveal the degree of ventricular enlargement and often the etiology of the hydrocephalus, the diagnosis and management of hydrocephalus present common problems in pediatric populations. DISCUSSION: US, usually sufficient to assess and monitor ventricular size, is used most commonly in preterm infants who have germinal matrix hemorrhages and not able to tolerate transport to the radiology department. Although CT can demonstrate gross dilatation of ventricles, in most cases, it will be necessary to more closely define the nature of the obstruction, either functionally or anatomically. MRI is the best imaging modality to provide such functional and anatomic information. However, since identification of obstructive pathologic processes at any level through the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) pathway in patients with hydrocephalus is of significant importance because it can change the treatment options, avoiding shunt insertion, a more sophisticated MRI approach is needed instead of obtaining a routine cranial MRI. Furthermore, the outcome after neuroendoscopic procedures is clearly related to patient selection under guidance of neuroimaging.
conclusionTherefore, the article focuses mainly on the effective usage of various MRI sequences in both diagnosis and follow-up of pediatric hydrocephalus, such as 3D CISS, cine PC, TSE, and GRE T2* sequences, to be able to investigate all possible obstructive pathology through the CSF pathway and to assess the efficiency of treatment in a standardized way.
