Cranial Ultrasound in the Management of Hydrocephalus in Newborns: A Case Series.
Article in Children (Basel, Switzerland), 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
backgroundHydrocephalus in preterm and term newborns is a condition with an important impact on medical care and the neurological development of patients, with high expenditures regarding daily care. Imaging nowadays provides valuable information regarding the aetiology of the condition, and it represents a great aid in monitoring the development of the patients. MATERIALS AND
methodsIn this article, we present the cases of five patients with hydrocephalus, for which different imaging methods were used to detect and treat the underlying aetiology, emphasizing the cranial ultrasound examination.
resultsThe results provided valuable information regarding the utility and feasibility of ultrasound. Moreover, Prechtl's Assessment of General Movements is yet another useful tool, which in correlation with the use of cranial ultrasound can provide good insight regarding the evolution of the affected newborns. The Kurjak Antenatal Neurodevelopmental Test (KANET, KANE Test) comes in handy in the case of prenatal neurological assessments.
conclusionsUltrasound examination proves to be a worthy tool capable of detecting the aetiology; however, in several cases, a complementary imaging examination might be needed. The therapeutic approach should take into consideration the diverse aetiology of the disease.
