Tension hydrothorax due to delayed and spontaneous supradiaphragmatic and intrathoracic migration of ventriculoperitoneal shunt catheter in pediatric patient: a rare complication with exhaustive literature review.
Review in Child's nervous system : ChNS : official journal of the International Society for Pediatric Neurosurgery, 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
Ventriculoperitoneal shunt (VPS) remains the gold standard for treating congenital and acquired hydrocephalus in children. Mechanical shunt failures and infections are the most frequent complications of this therapy. Intrathoracic complications, including shunt migration and pleural effusion causing hydrothorax, have been rarely reported. Here, the authors report a new rare case of spontaneous delayed supradiaphragmatic intrathoracic migration of a VPS catheter causing tension hydrothorax in a 9-year-old female patient treated with a VPS. She presented 45 months later for severe respiratory distress. The child underwent pleural drainage and VPS revision, with good outcomes. The authors will review the literature comprehensively and exhaustively to dissect this rare complication in the pediatric population.
