Post-traumatic internal carotid aneurysms caused by needlefish: lessons from one success story.
Article in Child's nervous system : ChNS : official journal of the International Society for Pediatric Neurosurgery, 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
introductionPenetrating injuries caused by marine animals are rare, particularly those involving the needlefish (Belonidae), which can cause significant orbital and intracranial trauma due to its elongated, serrated jaws. This report details a unique case of a successful resolution of this type of injury in Mexico. CASE PRESENTATION: A 10-year-old girl sustained a penetrating injury to her right eye while fishing in the Usumacinta River when a needlefish's jaws became embedded in her eye socket. Imaging revealed a foreign body penetrating the cavernous sinus and internal carotid artery (ICA) segment C4. Following a pterional craniotomy and successful removal of two osteocartilaginous fragments, postoperative angiography identified two ICA pseudoaneurysms. The patient was treated endovascularly and discharged without additional neurological deficits.
conclusionClinicians must consider intracranial penetration and vascular complications, such as pseudoaneurysms, in patients presenting with periorbital edema or oculomotor palsy following aquatic activities.
