Rare presentation of hydrocephalus occlusus caused by membranous obstruction of the foramina of Magendie and Luschka: a case report.
Article in Journal of surgical case 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
Fourth ventricle outlet obstruction is a rare cause of obstructive hydrocephalus in children. Although surgical management has been reported, the diagnostic challenges, differential considerations, and therapeutic strategies remain debated. We report a 5-year-old boy with progressive vomiting, severe headache, gait instability, and incontinence. High-resolution magnetic resonance imaging with T2-CISS sequences confirmed a membranous obstruction at the foramina of Magendie and Luschka. The patient underwent microsurgical fenestration via suboccipital craniotomy, with histopathological confirmation of arachnoid membranes without signs of infection or malignancy. The postoperative course was favorable with complete symptom resolution. Notably, persistent papilledema was observed at 2-month follow-up despite clinical improvement, but showed gradual regression during subsequent visits, underlining the need for cautious postoperative monitoring.
