Severe status epilepticus induced by shunt malfunction: A case report.
Article in Heliyon, 2025. 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
Introduction: Focal impaired awareness seizures are a common neurological disorder characterized by abnormal electrical activity in a specific brain region, resulting in impaired consciousness and neurological symptoms. Treatment options for patients may include antiepileptic medications, lifestyle modifications, or, in some cases, surgical intervention aimed at resecting the area of the brain responsible for seizure generation. Shunt malfunction can lead to seizures in cases of hydrocephalus; however, seizures triggered by stimulation of a specific brain area by the shunt catheter post-placement have not been reported. Case: This case provides a compelling example of a seizure triggered by the stimulation of a foreign body in the ventricle. The patient is a 31-year-old man who suffered seizures due to the proximal catheter remaining in the ventricle. Conclusion: In general, accidental events during surgery should be carefully investigated and taken into consideration. And if necessary, timely intervention should be done to eliminate possible complications.
