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

Hydrocephalus, a complication of achondroplasia, requires treatment when it is symptomatic. Hydrocephalus associated with achondroplasia is often treated with ventriculoperitoneal shunting, and endoscopic third ventriculostomy (ETV) is rarely performed in these patients. Here, we report the case of an 18-month-old boy with achondroplasia and progressive hydrocephalus who underwent ETV. He had a family history of achondroplasia and was diagnosed with achondroplasia at birth. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) at the age of 1 month showed no hydrocephalus. At the age of 15 months, he was admitted to our hospital due to increased head circumference. He had developmental delays, and MRI showed hydrocephalus with ballooning of the third ventricle. The ETV success score was 80 points; therefore, we performed ETV. Postoperatively, the progression of head circumference increase was controlled. The ventricular size remained unchanged on MRI at 13 months after surgery. Recently, an association between non-communicating hydrocephalus and achondroplasia has been reported. Depending on age and imaging findings, ETV may be effective in some patients with achondroplasia with hydrocephalus.
