Slit-like hypertensive hydrocephalus: Report of a late, complex, and multifactorial complication in an oncologic patient.
Article in Surgical neurology international, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
backgroundSeveral sophisticated techniques and many chemotherapy drugs have improved life expectancy of oncologic patients allowing us to observe late complications which present many years after the initial treatment. CASE DESCRIPTION: We present a unique case of a patient affected by acute lymphoblastic leukemia at the age of 6 years, treated with whole brain radiotherapy and intrathecal chemotherapy, developing meningiomatosis and leptomeningeal alterations as late complications and the interaction of these two entities caused a peculiar form of hydrocephalus without ventricular dilation. The diagnosis of pseudotumor cerebri was excluded due the postradio/chemotherapy development of meningiomatosis, not present in a previously head magnetic resonance imaging, that exerted compression to the Sylvian aqueduct causing intracranial hypertension with papillary stasis without ventricles enlargement due to brain stiffness. Moreover, a peculiar intraoperative rubbery consistency of brain parenchyma was detected strengthening this complex diagnosis.
conclusionAt the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of obstructive hydrocephalus without ventricles dilation caused by brain stiffness related to late alterations of oncologic treatments. This report could be a guide for further complex patients diagnoses and for improving treatments efficacy.
