Successful Management of a Rare Case of Double Myelomeningocele in an Infant: A Case Report from Pakistan and Brief Review of Pathophysiology.
Article in Asian journal of 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
Neural tube defects (NTDs) are common congenital anomalies, with myelomeningocele (MMC) being the most severe form. Double-level MMC is exceedingly rare, with fewer than 60 cases reported worldwide and none from Southeast Asia. We report a 4-month-old male with two congenital swellings on his back, diagnosed as double MMC at the cervical and lumbar levels, along with hydrocephalus and Arnold-Chiari malformation. Surgical management, including ventriculoperitoneal shunting and MMC repair, resulted in good outcomes. This case highlights the importance of early diagnosis, timely surgical intervention, and prenatal folic acid supplementation to reduce NTD risk in resource-limited settings.
