The rolling cyst: migrating intraventricular neurocysticercosis-a case-based update.
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 2 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
backgroundNeurocysticercosis is the most frequent parasitic disease of the central nervous system, and its incidence in the developed countries is increasing due to immigration and travels from endemic areas. The intraventricular location has been found to involve up to 61.3% of the patients; moreover, only 22 cases of migrating intraventricular cyst have been reported so far. Despite the rarity of the condition in western countries, its occurrence generates some concerns and the aim of this paper is to update the information concerning pathogenesis, clinical presentation, diagnosis and management of this entity. METHODS AND
resultsAll the pertinent literature was analysed, focused on the cases of migrating intraventricular neurocysticercosis and its peculiar features. An illustrative case regarding a 14-year-old girl is also presented.
conclusionsMigrating intraventricular neurocysticercosis is a pathognomonic entity usually presenting with hydrocephalus, and its treatment is mainly surgical, preferring an endoscopic approach. When the resection of the intraventricular cyst is not performed, an accurate follow-up is mandatory to detect clinical changes due to a recurrent hydrocephalus or to the effect of the dying cyst on the surrounding area. In case of permanent shunt placement, the cysticidal and steroid treatment is recommended to reduce the risk of shunt failure.
