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

A 29-year-old male with a history of pilocytic astrocytoma status post-multiple ventriculoperitoneal shunt (VPS) revisions presented with vision loss, ocular motor deficits, and headaches. His shunt was revised but he experienced persistent vision loss despite resolution of his headaches and diplopia. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the head revealed hydrocephalus and T2 hyperintensity consistent with transependymal oedema surrounding the midbrain, pons, and optic apparatus. His shunt was again revised, but was complicated by an infection that required removal. He underwent an endoscopic third ventriculostomy and an external ventricular device was temporarily placed. Repeat MRI revealed marked improvement of the transependymal oedema and hydrocephalus. His vision returned to baseline and remained stable at 6-months follow-up.
