1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

Among fetal surgical procedures, neurosurgery stands out due to the number of cases and the possibility of developing new procedures that can be performed in the fetal period. To perform fetal neurosurgical procedures, there is a need for specialized centers that have experts in the diagnosis of fetal pathologies and a highly complex obstetrics service with specialized maternal-fetal teams associated with a pediatric neurosurgery center with expertise in the diverse pathologies of the fetus and the central nervous system that offers multidisciplinary follow-up during postnatal life. Services that do not have these characteristics should refer their patients to these centers to obtain better treatment results. It is essential that the fetal neurosurgical procedure be performed by a pediatric neurosurgeon with extensive experience, as he will be responsible for monitoring these patients in the postnatal period and for several years. The objective of this manuscript is to demonstrate the diagnostic and treatment possibilities, in the fetal period, of some neurosurgical diseases such as hydrocephalus, tumors, occipital encephalocele, and myelomeningocele.
