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

Background: Previous studies on posthemorrhagic hydrocephalus (PHH) reported notable shunt failure rates as high as 45.1% within the first six months of placement. Using the Automated, Methods: The shunt failure criteria were set at greater than or equal to 30 Results: Over 500 h of data were gathered without leaks or ruptures. There was a statistically significant difference in the pressurization rate across blood concentration groups ( Conclusion: A direct relationship was observed between blood concentration and the pressurization rate, such that shunts and EVDs that were exposed to higher concentrations of blood consistently reached 30
