The evolution of pediatric neurosurgery: reflection of personal experience of the last half-century.
Review in Child's nervous system : ChNS : official journal of the International Society for Pediatric Neurosurgery, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
objectivesIn the past 50 years, pediatric neurosurgery has made tremendous strides, and gained its own identity as a distinct subspecialty. I have personally observed this progress and evolution in pediatric neurosurgery in multiple dimensions, which are described based upon my own experience and reflection.
methodsThe development and evolutions of multiple domains of pediatric neurosurgery, including neuroimaging, hydrocephalus, pediatric brain tumor, spinal dysraphism, craniosynostosis, vascular malformation, functional neurosurgery and spinal disorders were reviewed and commented on based upon my own experience and reflection.
resultsThe field of pediatric neurosurgery has grown in all aspects of diagnosis and therapy owing to the introduction of computers, innovative techniques and technologies and new discoveries of scientific data including molecular investigations.
conclusionA minimally invasive approach and molecular target therapy are a current trend. The past half century's clinical experience and advances in biomedical knowledge and techniques provide foundation for further improvement in the care of children of the next generation. Prospective artificial intelligence will likely promote further advances in pediatric neurosurgery.
