Retrospective analysis of neonatal hydrocephalus over the past 12 years.
Article in BMC pediatrics, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
backgroundNeonatal hydrocephalus is a serious neurological disease; however, advancements in neonatal care and the increasing survival rate of extremely preterm infants and its incidence, etiology, diagnosis and management have also undergone significant changes. In this study, we aimed to summarize the above clinical changes in neonatal hydrocephalus at our hospital over the past 12 years to provide a reference for clinical practice.
methodsThis was a single-center retrospective study. To comprehensively collect data on neonatal hydrocephalus, we conducted a case search among hospitalized patients in both the obstetrics and pediatrics departments from January 1, 2010, to December 31, 2021. In the comparative analysis, the infants were divided according to the time of admission into a group for the first 6 years and one for the second 6 years. Between-group comparisons of gestational age, birth weight, etiology, treatment, and prognosis were performed.
resultsSixty-two patients (28 in the first 6 years; 34 in the latter 6 years) were diagnosed with neonatal hydrocephalus. Their gestational ages ranged from 25 to 39
conclusionGestational age and birth weight were significantly lower in the second 6-year group than in the first 6-year group, and there was a significant increase in severe intracranial hemorrhage and cerebral parenchymal hemorrhage in this group.
