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

The objective of this review is to discuss the role of neuroimaging in evaluating pediatric and fetal hydrocephalus based on possible pathophysiologic mechanisms and in the context of differing etiology. Although conventional brain imaging with ultrasound (US), computed tomography (CT), and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is commonly used to assess for ventricular enlargement, however, the underlying mechanisms and management of hydrocephalus is a challenge in pediatric population and fetal hydrocephalus. MRI helps define the possible nature of the obstruction, and provides useful functional and anatomic information. MR imaging, in both pediatric and fetal hydrocephalus, thus may help in better understanding of the possible pathophysiologic mechanisms of the varied causal factors. The article focuses on the usage of MRI sequences in both diagnosis and follow-up of pediatric and fetal hydrocephalus, to be able to investigate all possible etiopathogenesis through the CSF pathway and to assess the efficacy of treatment in a non-invasive standardized manner.
