Endoscopic Third Ventriculostomy in Hydrocephalus Due to Complex Congenital Heart Disease: 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
Congenital heart disease may be associated with extracardiac abnormalities, such as those of the central nervous system. We present the case of a child with complex congenital heart disease associated with obstructive hydrocephalus treated with endoscopic third ventriculostomy (ETV). A 10-month-old child presented with atrial and ventricular septal defects, a double-outlet right ventricle (DORV) with transposition of the great vessels, a dysplastic pulmonary valve, significant pulmonary stenosis, and patent ductus arteriosus on two-dimensional echocardiography done in an outpatient clinic. Furthermore, computed tomography of the skull showed ventricular dilatation with signs of ependymal transudation. The hydrocephalus was treated by ETV with good results. Hydrocephalus is one of the most common malformations of the central nervous system. Further studies are needed to further elucidate the pathophysiology of hydrocephalus, the best time to treat it, and whether ventriculoperitoneal shunt or ETV is the best choice of treatment.
