Postspinal Surgery Hydrocephalus, Intraventricular Hemorrhage, and Multidrug-Resistant Ventriculitis: A Fatal Cascade.
Article in Journal of neurological surgery reports, 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
Background: Hydrocephalus, intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH), and ventriculitis are rare but devastating complications following spinal surgery. Their coexistence significantly worsens prognosis, especially when multidrug-resistant pathogens are involved. Case Presentation: A 59-year-old man with a C7 fracture and complete paraplegia underwent anterior and posterior cervical spine surgeries complicated by cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leakage. He later developed hydrocephalus and IVH, requiring external ventricular drainage. Shortly thereafter, fever and altered consciousness occurred, and pus was observed in the drain. CSF analysis confirmed carbapenem-resistant Conclusion: This report emphasizes the interplay of mechanical and infectious complications after spinal surgery, highlighting the need for early recognition, aggressive combined therapy, and preventive strategies to improve outcomes.
