Congenital Obstructive Hydrocephalus With Status Post-endoscopic Third Ventriculostomy Bilateral Subdural Hygroma and Pneumocephalus: 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
Pediatric neurosurgery faces a major difficulty in the treatment of hydrocephalus, a condition marked by an abnormal build-up of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) in the brain. Its prevalence varies between 0.5 and 0.8 per 1,000 live births worldwide, with different etiologies, including congenital abnormalities and acquired diseases. With benefits including a lower risk of infection and avoiding issues due to the shunt, endoscopic third ventriculostomy (ETV) has become a beneficial surgical technique in certain instances. Bypassing clogged ventricular channels, ETV creates a new channel for CSF drainage. Despite its effectiveness, a thorough examination of underlying disease and anatomical variables is necessary for positive outcomes in patient selection. To give patients, the best possible care, this article attempts to summarize the prevalence of hydrocephalus and the part that ETV plays in managing it. It also emphasizes the significance of customized surgical techniques. It is critical to comprehend the incidence of hydrocephalus and available treatment choices to enhance the infant's quality of life and long-term outcomes.
