Development of Posttraumatic Hydrocephalus Requiring Ventriculoperitoneal Shunt After Decompressive Craniectomy for Traumatic Brain Injury: a Systematic Review and Meta-analysis of Retrospective Studies.
Synthesis in Medical archives (Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina), 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT06703164 (Late Post Traumatic Ventriculomegally Does it Requires CSF Diversion ?), which is not on this map. Cited by 26 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.

Abstract
backgroundDecompressive craniotomy (DC) is a known risk factor for the development of posttraumatic hydrocephalus (PTH) in the patients with traumatic brain injury (TBI). Herein, the present study reported the development of PTH requiring ventriculoperitoneal (VP) shunt after DC for TBI.
methodsFour databases (PubMed, Web of Science, Scopus, and Cochrane Library) were searched from 1983 to April 2018. The studies evaluating the prevalence of PTH requiring VP shunt after DC in the patients with TBIwere selected without language restriction. A random-effects meta-analysis using event rate (ER) and 95% confidence intervals(CIs), was runby RevMan5.3 software.
resultsOut of 355 studies obtained from the databases, 25 studies were included and analyzed in the meta-analysis. The studies included 2402 patients undergoing DC for TBI, 354 of whohad PTH. The pooled ER of hydrocephalus in the patients undergoing DC for TBI was 17.7% [95%CI: 13.2 to 23.4%; P<0.001]. In addition, the pooled analysis showed that ER of hydrocephalus was 13% in adults [95%CI: 9 to 18.5%; P<0.001] and 37.6% in children [95%CI: 27.79 to 48.7%; P=0.029; I
conclusionThe present study demonstrated that DC after TBI was associated with the development of PTH, especially in children compared to adults.
