Neurosarcoidosis Complicated by Noncommunicating Hydrocephalus with Atypical Presentation, Diagnosed and Treated with Endoscopic Surgery: A Case Report.

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
Neurosarcoidosis is a condition that is characterized by the occurrence of noncaseating epithelioid granulomas in various organs throughout the body, including the lungs, heart, and central nervous system. It is particularly prevalent in cases of noncommunicating hydrocephalus. While its clinical presentations may vary, neurological deficits such as hemiparesis are extremely uncommon. We herein present a case of unilateral hydrocephalus resulting from neurosarcoidosis presenting with hemiparesis. A 58-year-old woman exhibited right hemiparesis, altered mental status, and aphasia persisting for 1 month. Magnetic resonance imaging showed unilateral hydrocephalus of uncertain etiology. The patient underwent external ventricular drainage, endoscopic fenestration of the septum pellucidum (septostomy), and lesion biopsy, which led to a histopathological diagnosis. Hemiparesis can accompany unilateral hydrocephalus caused by neurosarcoidosis. Endoscopic procedures provide an effective option for the diagnosis and treatment of noncommunicating hydrocephalus caused by neurosarcoidosis.
