Visual Outcomes from Shunting for Idiopathic Intracranial Hypertension.
Article in Neuro-ophthalmology (Aeolus Press), 2014. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 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
A retrospective notes review was conducted for 50 consecutive patients who underwent shunt surgery for idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH). The decimal visual acuity and the mean radial degrees (MRD) of the I4e isopter of the Goldmann visual field were measured pre-operatively and after a mean follow-up period of 1123 days (range: 13-3551 days). A ventriculo-peritoneal shunt was the first procedure in 38 patients and a lumbo-peritoneal shunt in 12. The mean decimal visual acuity of the worse affected eye improved from 0.75 to 0.84,
