Surgical treatment of post-infectious hydrocephalus in infants.
Article in Child's nervous system : ChNS : official journal of the International Society for Pediatric Neurosurgery, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
The management of post-infective hydrocephalus in infants remains a challenging task for the pediatric neurosurgeon. The decision-making curve is often complex in that appropriate temporizing measures need to be implemented to properly clear any infection within the CSF before any decision can be made regarding a permanent solution. The etiology differs at varying stages of neonatal development, and the weight of the child, skin fragility, and relevant surgical treatment options are often important limiting factors. Deciding on the optimal treatment option involves assessing the etiology, age, and clinical and radiological features of the individual case and selecting the most appropriate surgical option.
