1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

introductionAqueductal webs are a rare cause of obstructive hydrocephalus. Accurate diagnosis and intervention can prevent neurological complications. CASE PRESENTATION: Herein, we describe a case of a child presenting with headaches and vomiting. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) revealed obstructive tri-ventricular hydrocephalus caused by an aqueductal web. Endoscopic third ventriculostomy (ETV) was successfully performed to restore cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) flow.

conclusionThis case underscores the importance of phase-contrast and T2-weighted cinematic magnetic resonance imaging of cerebrospinal fluid flow for diagnosis of aqueductal webs. These modalities provide valuable insights into CSF dynamics and guidance of appropriate neurosurgical intervention.
