Acquired Chiari type I malformation managed by expanding posterior fossa volume and literature review.
Review in Child's nervous system : ChNS : official journal of the International Society for Pediatric Neurosurgery, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
purposeThe acquired Chiari type I malformation is a rare late complication of supratentorial shunting in children which is often accompanied by abnormal cranial vault thickening. Several surgical treatments for this disease have been proposed including supratentorial skull enlarging procedures and subtentorial craniotomy. But there is still debate about the best treatment strategy for this disease. METHOD AND
resultsWe reviewed the current knowledge of this disease in the paper. We illustrated one patient of symptomatic acquired Chiari type I malformation who had cysto-peritoneal (C-P) shunting and ventriculoperitoneal (V-P) shunting. We observed the CSF flow dynamic of this patient at different periods. The acquired Chiari type I malformation disappeared on imaging after thinning the occipital planum combined with the standard surgical therapy of Chiari decompression. The symptoms of the patient were relieved after surgery.
conclusionOvershunting manifestations require prompt recognition and management. Preventive measures should be taken which include making a stringent selection of cases being considered for surgery, avoiding C-P drainage, and placing of a programmable valve as initial treatment of intracranial arachnoid cysts (AC) if shunting is considered.
