Analysis of the effect of laparoscopic temporary long-tunneled external ventricular drainage in patients with post-traumatic brain injury hydrocephalus.

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
objectiveTo study the clinical effect of laparoscopic temporary long-tunneled external ventricular drainage(LT-LTEVD) and conventional laparoscopic ventriculoperitoneal shunt(CL-VPS) in patients with post-traumatic brain injury hydrocephalus(PTH).
methodsThis study was a prospective study. We analyzed the clinical data of 52 patients with PTH admitted to our department from October 2018 to October 2021.All cases were randomly divided into two groups, and performed LT-LTEVD and CL-VPS respectively. The catheterization time, remission time of intracranial hypertension, hospital stay, therapeutic effectiveness and complications rate were compared between groups.
resultsThe therapeutic effect of LT-LTEVD group (92.31%) was higher to that of CL-VPS group(65.38%), with statistical significance. Except the catheterization time, remission time of intracranial hypertension and hospital stay of CL-VPS group were significantly higher to those of the LT-LTEVD group, with statistical significance. The incidence of complications such as intracranial infection, shunt, obstruction and poor healing in the CL-VPS group(30.77%) was higher than that in LT-LTEVD group(7.69%), with statistical significance.
conclusionThe preliminary results of this study showed that in the treatment of patients with PTH, LT-LTEVD could potentially have a positive effect. However, future researches are needed to clarify these preliminary results.
