Impact of Shunt Placement on CSF Dynamics.
Article in Biomedicines, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
backgroundCSF dynamics are disturbed in chronic hydrocephalus (NPH). We hypothesise that these alterations reflect a disturbance of intracranial compliance. The aim of our study is to investigate the variations in intracranial hydrodynamics in NPH after ventricular shunt surgery. PATIENTS AND
methodWe included 14 patients with definite NPH. All patients improved after ventriculoperitoneal shunting. The patients underwent an analysis of intracranial haemodynamics by phase-contrast MRI (pcMRI) preoperatively, at 6 months postoperatively, and at 1 year postoperatively. We analysed the dynamics of intraventricular CSF at the level of the aqueduct of Sylvius (SV
resultsSV
conclusionsCSF dynamics are altered by shunt placement and might be a useful marker of the shunt's effectiveness-especially if pressure values start to rise again. The detection of changes in CSF dynamics would require a reference postoperative pcMRI measurement for each patient.
