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

introductionVentriculoperitoneal (VP shunts) and lumboperitoneal shunts (LP shunts) are used to treat hydrocephalus. The effectiveness of LP shunts has recently been demonstrated. Due to population aging, the number of patients with LP shunts is expected to increase. PRESENTATION OF CASE: A 51-year-old female, in whom an LP shunt had been inserted to treat hydrocephalus after a subarachnoid hemorrhage, underwent laparoscopic right salpingo-oophorectomy for a right endometriotic cyst. We consulted a neurosurgeon and confirmed the route of the shunt. We started a normal laparoscopic procedure. The head of the shunt tube was located in Douglas' pouch and was an obstacle to the procedure. We moved the head of the shunt tube to the vesicouterine pouch and successfully conducted the standard operation. We report the case together with a literature review. DISCUSSION: There have been several reports about gynecological laparoscopic surgery being performed in patients with VP shunts. On the other hand, we did not find any English literature about gynecological laparoscopic surgery being conducted in patients with LP shunts during a PubMed search.

conclusionThis is the first report about gynecological laparoscopic surgery being performed in a patient with an LP shunt.
