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

Pediatric spinal CSF leaks are uncommon and encompass a spectrum of leak types with distinct imaging findings, diagnostic pathways, and treatment strategies. Brain and spine MRI guide the evaluation of suspected CSF leaks and the selection of advanced imaging techniques for precise leak localization. Leak types include dural tears, CSF-venous fistulas, and CSF-vascular malformation fistulas, each with distinct imaging and treatment considerations. This pictorial review illustrates the spectrum of pediatric spinal CSF leaks and provides a practical framework for their diagnosis and management.
