Refractory inflammatory hydrocephalus: A case report of a rare and complicated delayed sequelae following cerebral hemispherectomy surgery for epilepsy.

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
Hydrocephalus is a known complication following surgical resection of a cerebral hemisphere for refractory epilepsy, yet the pathological mechanism remains poorly understood. We present a case of refractory aseptic inflammatory hydrocephalus following cerebral hemispherectomy surgery for refractory epilepsy treated with a combination of cerebral spinal fluid (CSF) diversion and immunosuppression via IL-1 receptor agonist, Anakinra. At 6 month follow up, the patient had returned to neurologic baseline, with improvement in school and physical therapy performance. Further investigation into the beneficial role of immunosuppressive therapy is needed to better understand the relationship between neuro-inflammation and improving outcomes following epilepsy surgery.
