Urethral migration of a ventriculoperitoneal shunt in a 6-month-Old female infant: A rare complication of hydrocephalus management.

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
Hydrocephalus, occurring in 0.9-1.8 per 1000 births, is managed through ventriculoperitoneal shunt placement. This intervention carries potential complications, with migration and infection being predominant concerns. 6-month-old female infant presented with VP shunt migration through the urethra, 5 months after hydrocephalus treatment. Clinical manifestations included irritability, mild fever, vomiting, and tense, bulging fontanelle. Laboratory findings revealed elevated white blood cell count of 21,000/mm
