Unruptured Myelomeningocele Closure Surgery: A Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Myelomeningocele (MMC) is an in-utero closure defect of the posterior portion of the neural tube, and it is the most common neural tube defect (NTD) compatible with life. It is usually associated with other congenital malformations, such as hydrocephalus and Chiari type 2 syndrome. Therefore, the long-term outcome depends on early repair, and the surgery is urgently scheduled. Newborns with MMC are a special population that requires meticulous preoperative preparation to maintain hemodynamic stability during the procedure and a favorable outcome. In this case report, we describe the challenges of unruptured myelomeningocele closure surgery in a newborn with 12 hours of life. This special case emphasizes the importance of a multidisciplinary approach between anesthesiologists, neurosurgeons, and plastic surgeons to provide the best care to this subset of patients.
