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

discussionWe present a case of a preterm boy of 29 gestational weeks with complicated posthemorrhagic hydrocephalus who developed a retroclival cyst extending to the upper cervical spinal canal and leading to brainstem compression. At the age of 2 months, third ventriculocisternocystostomy (ETVCC) resulted in temporary relief but was followed by reclosure of the stoma within weeks. At the age of 4 months, navigated endoscopic ventriculocisternocystostomy and endoscopy-guided stent catheter placement was performed with connection to a ventriculoperitoneal (VP) shunt system through a burr hole reservoir.

conclusionThis strategy improved the multiloculated hydrocephalus by establishing a communication between theretroclival subarachnoid cyst and the ventricular system, leading to uneventful further development of the child.
