Obstruction caused by suprasellar cisterna arachnoid cyst expansion after ventriculoperitoneal shunt in children with hydrocephalus.

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
Introduction: Suprasellar cistern arachnoid cysts are rare non-neoplastic cystic lesions that represent nearly 1% of all intracranial arachnoid cysts. Symptomatology can vary; small cysts typically do not produce any symptoms, whereas larger cysts may lead to headaches, blurred vision, and other related issues. However, the etiology, pathogenesis, and natural history of this condition remain unclear. Case presentation: This study includes four cases from our hospital from the year 2016 to 2021, first diagnosed with hydrocephalus received ventriculoperitoneal shunt treatments, the patients complicated with enlargement of the suprasellar cisterna arachnoid cyst occurred following ventriculoperitoneal shunt placement, leading to secondary obstructive hydrocephalus and received neuroendoscopic third ventriculostomy and cyst fenestration. Conclusion: Suprasellar cisterna arachnoid cysts may be related to intracranial pressure dynamics. Fluctuations in intracranial pressure can lead to variations in cyst size and may result in associated symptoms. Monitoring imaging and symptoms before, during, and after surgery, along with comprehensive follow-up, is important.
