Endoscopic debulking canalization for optic pathway glioma with obstructive hydrocephalus.

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
Optic pathway gliomas (OPGs) are benign tumors that can stop growing or even shrink. In recent years, surgical resection has not been considered the first-line treatment because of its high risk of complications. Chemotherapy is the mainstay of treatment for growing OPGs. Surgical treatment for OPGs with obstructive hydrocephalus is required. Ventriculoperitoneal shunting is effective for all types of hydrocephalus. However, long-term management is required, especially in pediatric cases, and there is a risk of shunt-related complications over a long lifespan. Debulking surgery for OPGs allows us to avoid shunt placement by creating a waterway and releasing the hydrocephalus. To reduce the surgical risk and invasiveness, we used an endoscopic canalization technique with a small-diameter cylinder. In this article, we present a case of endoscopic canalization of an obstructive hydrocephalus caused by OPGs in a 14-year-old female to illustrate our surgical technique.(Trial registration Registry name and number: Efficacy and safety of the neuro-endoscopic treatment for brain tumors (2019-0254)).
