Burr hole monoportal endoscopic resection of a large choroid plexus cyst causing obstructive hydrocephalus: diagnosis, management and 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
introductionChoroid plexus cysts, the most common neuroepithelial cystic lesions, are rarely symptomatic and often discovered incidentally. MATERIALS AND
methodsWe report our experience of managing a 22-year-old man who presented with a short history of severe, progressive headache secondary to hydrocephalus as a result of obstruction at the level of the foramina of Monro.
resultsHigh resolution MRI sequences demonstrated a large cystic lesion filling and expanding the foramina of Monro and extending into the third ventricle. Endoscopic gross total resection of the cyst and a septum pellucidotomy were performed through a monoportal approach with resolution of the hydrocephalus and the headaches.
conclusionAlthough symptomatic choroid plexus cysts are rare, they should be considered in the differential diagnosis of intraventricular lesions causing obstructive hydrocephalus and appropriate imaging performed. Endoscopic resection is a safe and definitive intervention, which allows complete excision via a minimally invasive approach.
