Management of lateral meningocele syndrome in a child without neurological symptoms and literature review.
Review in Child's nervous system : ChNS : official journal of the International Society for Pediatric Neurosurgery, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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
purposeLateral meningocele syndrome (LMS) is a rare genetic connective tissue disorder which is associated with meningocele-related neurologic dysfunction. Several patients with LMS have been reported. But, guidelines for screening and treatment of LMS have not been established. METHOD AND
resultsWe review the current knowledge of LMS in the article. Then, we describe a boy for whom a genomic analysis which allowed us to make a diagnosis of LMS and to begin monitoring of his condition for possible neurological complications.
conclusionIt would be difficult to make a diagnosis of LMS on the basis of clinical manifestations alone. The natural history of dural ectasia in patients with LMS needs to be better defined to establish surgical indications. Based upon the current literature, ventriculoperitoneal shunting (V-Ps) has been recommended as the first-line surgical treatment option for patients with symptomatic thoracolumbar meningoceles.
