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

purposeThe optimal management for neonatal intraventricular haemorrhage (IVH) remains uncertain. Neuroendoscopic lavage (NEL) has gained interest as a method for removal of intraventricular haematoma and debris, with outcomes suggesting it to be safe and efficacious for reducing the requirement for ventriculoperitoneal shunt (VPS) insertion. We present a large series assessing outcomes from NEL for neonatal IVH.

methodsA retrospective review was carried out, between January 2011 and November 2023, identifying infants who underwent NEL following germinal matrix haemorrhage at our institution. Data was extracted on patient baseline demographics, comorbidities, complications, re-operation rate, and VPS requirement.

resultsForty-four patients (28 M:16F) underwent NEL at a median corrected age of 35

conclusionsNEL is a safe and potentially efficacious treatment for neonatal IVH. The procedure may reduce shunt dependence, particularly if performed earlier in the disease process.
