Early Presentation and Management of Normal Pressure Hydrocephalus in a Middle-Aged Patient: A Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Normal pressure hydrocephalus (NPH) is an uncommon neurological disorder that is most often seen in adults over 60 years of age. Its pathogenesis remains uncertain but is believed to involve impaired cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) absorption, increased resistance to CSF outflow, or a mismatch between CSF production and resorption. Reports of NPH in patients younger than 60 are rare, as advanced age is closely associated with the condition. We describe a 55-year-old woman who presented to the emergency department with progressive ataxia, cognitive slowing, and urinary incontinence. Brain imaging demonstrated ventriculomegaly consistent with NPH, and she underwent continuous lumbar drainage with marked clinical improvement. She subsequently participated in an inpatient rehabilitation program, which resulted in further gains in mobility and cognition. Our case highlights the importance of considering NPH in middle-aged patients presenting with compatible symptoms and imaging findings, as timely intervention can lead to meaningful recovery.
