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

Ventriculoperitoneal shunt (VPS) related metastization of intracranial tumors to the peritoneal cavity is an uncommon but a well-recognized complication. Ascending spread of tumors, located in the peritoneum or near the subcutaneous path of the VPS, is an exceptional rare event. We present a very rare and complex case of intracranial dissemination of cervical tumor in a three-year-old young patient with a past medical history of hydrocephalus-related post-endovascular treatment of Galen vein aneurysm through a ventriculoperitoneal shunt catheter implanted when the patient was five months old.
