Recovery of akinetic mutism and injured prefronto-caudate tract following shunt operation for hydrocephalus and rehabilitation: A case report.
Article in Medicine, 2017. 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
rationaleA 76-year-old female patient was diagnosed with an aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage following rupture of a right posterior communicating artery aneurysm. PATIENT CONCERNS: She was treated surgically with clipping of the aneurysmal neck. Six months after onset, when starting rehabilitation at our hospital, she showed no spontaneous movement or speech. DIAGNOSES:: aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage following rupture of a right posterior communicating artery aneurysm.
interventionsDuring 2 months' rehabilitation, her AM did not improve significantly. As there was no apparent change, she underwent a ventriculo-peritoneal shunt operation for hydrocephalus 8 months after her stroke. After the surgery, she remained in the AM state, but participated in a comprehensive rehabilitative management program similar to that before shunt operation. During 1 month's intensive rehabilitation, her AM gradually improved. At 9 months after onset, she became able to perform some daily activities by herself including eating, washing, and dressing. In addition, she could speak with some fluency. OUTCOMES: On 6-month DTT, the neural connectivity of the caudate nucleus (CN) to the medial prefrontal cortex (PFC, Broadmann area [BA]: 10 and 12) and orbito-frontal cortex (BA 11 and 13) was low in both hemispheres. However, the neural connectivity of the CN to the medial PFC increased on both sides on 9-month DTT. The integrity of the arcuate fasciculus (AF) was preserved in both hemispheres on both 6- and 9-month DTTs. LESSONS: Recovery of AM and injured PCTs was observed in a stroke patient.
