1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Evacuating intrauterine hematomas during fetoscopic myelomeningocele repair can be challenging. The NICO Myriad (Stryker Inc.) has been previously described to resect brain tumors, as an adjunct in intraventricular neuroendoscopy, and, most recently, has been proven to effectively remove intracerebral hematomas at clinical and cost-effective significance. This device has not been described in fetal neurosurgery. In this video, the NICO Myriad was utilized during a minilaparotomy fetal myelomeningocele repair to mechanically aspirate an intrauterine hematoma noted at the end of the operation. The surgical technique and technical nuances of using the NICO Myriad during fetoscopic myelomeningocele repair are reviewed. The video can be found here: https://stream.cadmore.media/r10.3171/2026.1.FOCVID25233.
