Shunt overdrainage syndrome: review of the literature.
Review in Neurosurgical review, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 23 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Shunt overdrainage in patients with hydrocephalus still represents a challenge for neurosurgeons, in part due to the lack of agreement or uniformity concerning the entity. Important problems exist relating to the real incidence of the entity, its definition, classification, and the pathophysiological theories behind the various treatment strategies proposed. Recent reports have suggested that the evidence about overdrainage and its consequences is not so robust as presumed. Consequently, the topic requires more detailed examination. In this review, we comment on all the main facets related with shunt overdrainage.
