Intracranial hypotension in a girl with Marfan syndrome: case report and review of the literature.
Review in Child's nervous system : ChNS : official journal of the International Society for Pediatric Neurosurgery, 2008. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers.
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
introductionA 14-year-old girl, followed in our department for Marfan syndrome, presented with postural headache for a month. Neurological examination was normal. The diagnosis of intracranial hypotension syndrome was suspected. DISCUSSION: Bilateral subdural hematomas were found on brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and spinal MRI showed large lumbosacral arachnoid diverticula; no cerebrospinal fluid leaks could be found. Despite bed rest and hydration for 2 weeks, postural headache remained. Epidural blood patching was also performed. Subsequently, the patient became asymptomatic and could stand up after 1 day. Brain MRI did not find recurrent subdural hematoma after 1 month. Dural ectasia is one of the major criteria of Marfan syndrome, and it is often poorly symptomatic. Intracranial hypotension is a rare complication especially in children, and management is not standardized. In this case report, blood patching was sufficient. Further research into the diagnosis and management of spontaneous intracranial hypotension is required.
