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

Neuroendoscopic lavage (NEL) is a time-limited neurosurgical intervention that removes intraventricular blood in post-hemorrhagic hydrocephalus (PHH). Preterm neonates are medically complex and fragile, often precluding neurosurgical procedures due to concerns such as extubation risk and body temperature instability during even routine clinical care. In addition, transportation to the operating room can be difficult and risky. Given these factors, our institution developed and implemented a bedside technique to facilitate safe and timely NEL in the neonatal intensive care unit for the treatment of PHH.
