Sixteen-Year Interval CT Comparison in Chiari II Malformation After Early Ventriculoperitoneal Shunting: Marked Ventricular Improvement and a Prolonged Seizure-Free Interval.
Article in Cureus, 2026. 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
Chiari II malformation is commonly associated with hydrocephalus requiring early cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) diversion and may coexist with complex supratentorial developmental abnormalities. As a result, patients with severe congenital structural brain anomalies and long-term ventriculoperitoneal (VP) shunting often experience neurodevelopmental impairment and are at increased risk of epilepsy. We report a 17-year-old girl with Chiari II malformation, repaired myelomeningocele, and ventriculoperitoneal shunting since birth (revision at five years of age), demonstrating marked ventricular improvement over a 16-year interval and a prolonged seizure-free interval despite severe congenital supratentorial malformations.
