Evaluation of postoperative fluctuations in plasma sodium concentration and triphasic response after pediatric craniopharyngioma resection: A French cohort study.

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
introductionDisturbances in plasma sodium levels are a major complication following recent resections of craniopharyngiomas in children. They must be properly managed to avoid neurological sequelae. We aimed to describe the variations and characteristics of postoperative natremia in children who had undergone a first craniopharyngioma resection with a particular focus on the frequency of triphasic syndrome in these patients.
methodsPaediatric patients with craniopharyngiomas who underwent a first surgical resection in the neurosurgery department of the Hôpital Femme Mère Enfant (Lyon, France) between January 2010 and September 2021 were included in the present study and the medical records were analysed retrospectively.
resultsA total of 26 patients were included. Of these, 17 (65.4%) had a postoperative course characterised by the occurrence of both initial diabetes insipidus (DI) and hyponatremia a few days later. Eight patients (30.8%) presented then with isolated and persistent DI. Patients with the triphasic syndrome had a significantly higher grade of Puget classification on MRI (1 and 2), compared to the other patients.
conclusionDysnatremia is common after craniopharyngioma resections in children. This immediate postoperative complication is particularly difficult to manage and requires rapid diagnosis and prompt initiation of medical treatment to minimize fluctuations in sodium levels and avoid neurological sequelae.
