Post-traumatic hydrocephalus after decompressive craniectomy: a multidimensional analysis of clinical, radiological, and surgical risk factors.
Article in Neurosurgical review, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
Decompressive craniectomy is a key treatment for refractory intracranial pressure after severe traumatic brain injury (TBI). Post-traumatic hydrocephalus (PTH) occurs in 7.6-36% of cases, and early diagnosis significantly improves rehabilitation outcomes. This retrospective study analyzed risk factors for shunt-dependent PTH in 126 TBI patients (93 men, 33 women, median age 53 years). Patients were divided into those requiring shunts and those who did not. Clinical and radiological characteristics, including volumetric measurements and surgical techniques, were assessed using SPSS
