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

introductionThe goal of this study was to evaluate the utility of orbital ultrasonography and magnetic resonance imaging in the diagnosis of idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH).

methodWe reviewed the medical records of patients referred to our department for suspected IIH.

resultsSeven children were diagnosed with IIH. Nine children revealed pseudopapilledema by optic coherence tomography and/or orbital ultrasonography. When the axial sequences were reexamined, patients with papilledema had optic nerve sheath (ONS) enlargement (6.62 ± 0.70 mm); patients with pseudopapilledema had ONS diameter as 4.62 ± 0.64 mm. There was a significant correlation between the CSF opening pressure and ONS diameter (p < 0.005, r = 0.661). In the papilledema group, the presence of proposed subtle markers as increased tortuosity in the optic nerve was found in six patients. Five of seven patients had a target sign, intraocular protrusion of the optic nerve, and posterior globe flattening. DISCUSSION: Ophthalmological review is important to avoid unnecessary procedures for detection of true papilledema. ONS diameter is a reliable neuroimaging marker as other subtle markers.
