Neuroendoscopic surgery in neonates - indication and results over a 10-year practice.
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 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
purposeNeuroendoscopic procedures for treatment of term and preterm newborn infants, such as endoscopic lavage for posthemorrhagic hydrocephalus, are gaining popularity despite sparse data. This single-institution report compiles all neuroendoscopic surgical procedures performed in neonates during a 10-year period.
methodsCharts and electronic records were reviewed of all consecutive newborns who underwent a neuroendoscopic procedure before reaching a postmenstrual age of 44 weeks between 09/2010 and 09/2020. Available documentation was reviewed regarding the performed neuroendoscopic procedure, course of disease, complications, and all re-operations throughout the first year of life.
resultsDuring the 10-year study period, 116 infants (median gestational age at birth: 29
conclusionThe experience with this large cohort of neonates demonstrates the feasibility of neuroendoscopic technique for the treatment of posthemorrhagic or postinfectious hydrocephalus. Rate and type of complications after neuroendoscopic procedures were within the expected range. Assessing the potential long-term benefits of neuroendoscopic techniques has to await results of ongoing studies.
