Myelomeningocele: Long-Term Neurosurgical Management.
Review in Advances and technical standards in neurosurgery, 2024. 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
Open spina bifida, also known as myelomeningocele (MMC), is the most challenging and severe birth defect of the central nervous system compatible with life and it is due to a failure in the dorsal fusion of the nascent neural tube during embryonic development. MMC is often accompanied by a constellation of collateral conditions, including hydrocephalus, Arnold - Chiari II malformation, brainstem disfunction, hydrosyringomyelia, tethered cord syndrome and scoliosis. Beyond early surgical repair of the dorsal defect, MMC requires lifelong cares. Several additional surgical procedures are generally necessary to improve the long-term outcomes of patients affected by MMC and multidisciplinary evaluations are crucial for early identification and management of the various medical condition that can accompany this pathology. In this chapter, the most common pathological entities associated with MMC are illustrated, focusing on clinical manifestations, treatment strategies and follow up recommendations.
