Gadolinium-enhanced MR cisternography to evaluate dural leaks in intracranial hypotension syndrome.
Article in AJNR. American journal of neuroradiology, 2008. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 33 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
background and purposeWe evaluated the use of MR cisternography after intrathecal administration of gadopentetate dimeglumine to detect the presence and localization of CSF leaks in 19 patients diagnosed with spontaneous intracranial hypotension syndrome according to the criteria of International Headache Society. MATERIALS AND
methodsLumbar puncture with an injection of 0.5 mL of gadopentetate dimeglumine into the subarachnoid space in the lumbar area was performed. MR images of the cervical, thoracic, and lumbar regions in axial, coronal, and sagittal planes with fat-saturated T1-weighted images were acquired.
resultsWe observed objective CSF leakage in 17 (89%) of 19 patients. In 14 of these 17 patients, the site of dural tear was demonstrated accurately. In 3 of these 17 patients, the contrast leakage was diffuse, and site of the leak could not be located accurately. No leakage was observed in 2 patients. No complications were detected in any of the patients during the first 24 hours after the procedure or during the 6- to 12-month follow-up.
conclusionThe current results demonstrate the relative safety, accuracy, and feasibility of intrathecal gadolinium-enhanced MR cisternography to evaluate dural leaks.
